This is my attempt at this week's Crafty Secrets challenge to make a card fitting a business envelope. You can find it here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I don't use this size very often, but it was a really fun challenge! It's hard to tell in the photo, but I have sewn a border around the "houndstooth" bg paper. TFL!

I love it. What a perfect image for the wide card....the car just seems to be driving right off the card the way you cut it out. Perfect use of the houndstooth and matching the chocolate and red accents.

Fun design! Love the houndstooth - I reckon the car's upholstery might well be that pattern - lol! Great details with the stitching/scallops/ribbon too!
