TeaPot request, Dennis is turning 80, he likes cars, among many other things, all I saw was cars... haha
Now that I'm done and uploading I see he likes blue, oh well that's good. I really didn't pay attention beyond, octagons and cars! My base is Stary Sky with a black mat and I embossed a piece of Brushed Silver.
People turning 80 are often referred to as octogenarians, I had no idea, so as a nod to this reference, include octagons.
I decided to actually use my cricut. After dusting it off I figured I'd do corners on my card front too.
I sponged some Balmy Blue and Cinnamon Cider on the image pieces to tone down the white.
Hope he likes the card.
Thanks for looking!

I love the way the embossing looks on the silver BG...looks like a real piece of metal. And the gears are a nice touch - they're like abstract octagons. My dad is definitely going to be surprised when he sees all these cards. Thanks for helping us celebrate!

fabulous ! That background is just spectacular to say the least. That truck with the flames detailing is in our time era too !! My brother used to paint vehicles with pinstripes and flames all the time in the 60's and 70's..

Great card, Vikkijo! The gears and the silver background are perfect with the main image of the pickup. Great coloring!
