Looking for help, I have to make an 18th card for a male who is mad on cars. Has anyone got any ideas. G-ma

Watching with interest - I have a card for an 18th male to make too!

A decoupage car image?!? What type of car does he like or does he like cars in general? If the former, maybe you could print an image of his favourite car and attach it to the card? Maybe you could do the card as a black and white card and have the car/s in colour to make them stand out?!?

HTH. I haven't really done any for an 18yo male - mine are more for the older gents!

From what I can gather he is into flash fast cars, all the images I've found seem to be for older people, I've looked round for decoupage, but I haven't found anything that seems appropriate

Could you make your own decoupage image by finding a free picture of the kind of car he likes (maybe from the web site of the manufacturer, google images or even Flikar) and printing several copies of it?

I made one in black & Silver using the image from here . Sorry I haven't got a photo

If you right click the image you can download it as a picture and resize it to print. I then put his initials JLR 18 as the number plate.Instead of Happy birthday sentiment I put " Make a Wish". It went down a storm, he loved it !

I used a sporty looking car decoupage sheet, it had just "3D No Scissors Required Decoupage" across the top of the sheet. No other names unfortunately. Perhaps if you Googled it or asked in here someone might supply it. The cars were in green and red.

Just had a look, you will definitely find it if you Google it, there were lots of places to get them from

I think I have seen them somewhere If they are the same ones there was three on a sheet, there were all racing cars. The trouble is I can never remember where I have seen them, I look at that many crafty things I think my mind is mashed. I am have downloaded the porsche picture and I am going to use that. Hope it turns out OK. Thanks for the idea with look out for the racing cars and buy them to keep in. Thank you G-ma

**G-ma** · 11-09-2008, 03:27 PM

I am new at this! I need help from my grandson, I will get him to help me when he gets back from work, with any luck I will show it to you.

I know how to post images know but due to be being a new member the administration will not allow me to post images until they believe I am a true member,

What does this involve??
