Cathy is this week's Ways to Use It challenge and she is asking us to Make It Masculine. I was inspired by this pin. My hubby likes old cars and specialty cards, so this should be a winner.
I used Karen Dunbrook's woodgrain method to create the wood panels. I backed the windows with an acrylic sheet from a stamp and used yogurt lids for the chrome. The bg is a map from a very old AAA book. Stamped the sentiment and backed it with more woodgrain. Since I'm using recycled items, it goes in last week's WTUI too. Thanks for looking and hope you'll play along!
Changed my title to Happy Father's Day from Happy Birthday. Typing in strange details and titles is what happens when you finish and load a card late at night!!

I haven't seen this die before and it's wonderful, especially with the woodgrain, chrome and windows you did! Great thinking to use the page from the old travel guide as background!

Carla I love the car and your wood grain turned out beautifully. I have 4 yogurt cups in my fridge that I will be eating soon and saving the lids as I love how they have turned out on your cards. Great use of the old map from the AAA map too. I have one that I have not tossed for use on cards too. They make wonderful BG papers.
