WT639 Fix It With Duct Tape. I wasn't going to do this challenge (what can be done with duct tape besides fixing guy stuff and making sticky wallets?), but then I browsed the GALLERY and those wonderful entries sprang an idea into my little pea brain. I'd been saving these photos on Pinterest of rusting vehicles because I loved the colors. One had a picture of a rusty truck parked next to a metal corrugated garage door. Bingo! Wrap duct tape carefully over vellum (because it's thin) and run through my embossing machine with a corrugated Darice ef. Rub pitch black and, appropriately, rust, alcohol inks on the tape and smear them back and forth with blending solution on a felt pad. Instant corrugated surface for my collection of aged auto bodies. My husband said any man of years would like it said he was "aged to perfection". TFL

Kandie, those are fantastic images of those old trucks! Love your layout and use of duct tape! Here in Oklahoma, ever so often you can see one of these trucks in a field or near a barn!

Oh Kandie, this is amazing! What a fabulous card, from the photo you wouldn't even know that duct tape was on there you have altered it in such an amazing way. Fabulous card!

That's why they call them challenges, right? I'm so glad you decided to join us today, because this is beyond brilliant! And that EF is getting penciled in right at the top of my wish list! I had wanted to play with some alcohol inks too today, but I just didn't have the right colors. Your technique with the EF and the alcohol inks really resulted in magic. I also love the photos and, well, really just everything about this card!

WOW! This has to be the most creative use of duct tape. Your old garage door is so authentic, the alcohol inks and embossing are well done. Love the collage of rusty vehicles. Fantastic card, Kandie. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

Wow! You are soooo talented! I know a young man who would love this, so I wouldn't say just those of "aged perfection." Wish we could see and touch this in real life!
