This is my card for round 6 of the alpha challenge - letter Z. Originally, I this made this card a couple of days ago for my brother-in-law who just received his driver's license for the first time at age 59. We threw a surprise party for my BIL to help him celebrate this wonderful milestone occasion. Since I had not had a chance to post this card until now, I am hoping I am not stretching it too much by including this in the Alpha Challenge for the letter Z (let me know!). I really wanted to make a cool car card for my BIL because he is a cool kind of guy and he is loving zipping around in his car now. Fun!

Excellent! Love the jazzy blues. The shiny zig zag border adds a nice touch. Love the silver-embossed car in that zippy blue. The sparkly stars add a nice zing and are just the right accent. Great take on the sketch. Wonderful card, sure to be well received! TFS

Wow, what an awesome card. I love it. I like how you used the circle and oval together, along with the banner. I sure like this classic car. Congrats, to you BIL. You said he is 59 and I think the model of this vintage car is possibly a 1959, not that I am old enough to know that. Thanks, for sharing your fab card.

Well, congrats to your BIL and congrats to you for pulling off the surprise and making him a wonderful card! I love the blue and silver. He would really love you if you got him that car for real, wouldn't he!
