I can't believe I get my 2 favorite products for this blog hop . . . Stampendous & Spellbinders! Such a dream! I am both a fanatic for Stampendous stamps and amazing Spellbinder cutting dies . . . what could be better?

Step 2: Cover car with red patterned paper. Cut 5" x 6" dark green cardstock and glue centered onto the card. Using the largest Spellbinders label cutting die, cut 2 labels from the gold glitter cardstock. Glue one label horizontal onto the center of the card. Cut the second label in half, and glue vertically 1/4" from top and bottom of card as shown. Cut stamped image to 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", and use blending tool to add Barn Door Distress Ink to edges. Mat on red cardstock leaving 1/8" border and foam tape to card.
Step 3: Die cut 3 medium Spellbinders Bitty Blossom from red cardstock. Follow package instructions to create red roses. Glue to card front as shown. Die cut 3 leaves from dark green cardstock and glue around roses.
