This is for two challenges. The first is The Twisted Sistah's. We were to have metal, embossing and a border punch. I embossed metal paper and I had no border punches that would go with this card. They are all too feminine. So I made my own by making my road. I cut a strip of black paper and used a slit punch from SU. I colored the image with Copic markers and used a clear glitter Spica Pen on the windows. It does not show up on the picture. Also I popped my main image up using dimensionals from SU. I love their dimensionals because the paper comes right off of it. I have bought brands in the past that were so hard to use.
The second challenge is the Free For All and that was simply to use twine.
Thanks for looking.

WOW...this is SUPER. The metal embossing looks just like truck decking...which is perfect with your image. I like the bold black/white strip at the botttom and your mutiple-twine wrapping at the top is terrific.

Love all your elements, especially that embossed metal, WOW! Very creative with your border punch too. Don't you just love it when you can use what you've got?

This is so rugged looking. I love the diamond plate look of your background paper. Super cute card. Men are so hard to make cards for and you hit it right on the head.

I love this Sylvia...just used this image earlier in the week. What a great job on both challenges. Love that embossed metal and your "punched" road is fantastic. Wonderful card!

Man oh man do I want an apple pie!!! I love this vintage PickUp. For some reason I am drawn to car punches. Great job and I love your coloring and brilliant road work!
