For those of you unfamiliar with the show, "The Stig" is this great driver who is never seen without his helmet on (of course, there were rumors he would be unveiled this Sunday [the time I am writing this]...personally, I don't believe it). Anyway, I found some more clip art for the occasion.
I had ordered a whole stack of Kiwi Kiss before it was no longer available (I love my greens) and thought it complimented that DP scrap perfectly. Since I really liked the idea of a shadow behind a clip I would not end up coloring (since The Stig's helmet is white anyway), I decided to simply change the background color to ensure a little bit of pop.
I looked up the Kiwi Kiss RGB code (R-190 G-182 B-83) and applied it to the largest shadow. Then, I played with the color scale to get a lighter shade of the same color for some of the smaller shadows (the rest of the shadows I left at their default gray). Then I printed it off (with a fun sentiment too) and bam, I am done!

Love it!!!
IMO considering they fired the original stig for revealing he was the stig I have trouble believing that they will ever reveal him, unless they are getting a new stig...

Kim sent me this link and I wanted to say I love the card you did.. I'm sure Brad got a kick out of it!
"The Stig" has been a variety of people, most of whom were/are actual Formula 1 drivers or F1 team test drivers.. I don't think they are going to reveal the current persons identity anytime soon :)
You're a HOOT! I love this one especially when my DH wears a shirt that says "I'm the STIG's Fat Cousin" and we live in FL ;)
You made my day with this, thanks.
That is perfect! I love the retro look of the clip art. You put this together perfectly!
(I adore Kiwi Kiss, best green ever)
Wow, Allison, that stripe is so bold with the Kiwi! I love it!
I must be living in the dark - don't have a clue what a stig is - the image is cute and your card is adorable. Do you know if anyone has published rgb codes for the new in-colors yet? ~chris
Oh! I wish I would have seen this card before Father's Day! That would have been a perfect card for my husband too.
