This card is for the CAS325 to use wheels. Even though it looks busy, it is super simple to make and does not have any bling, bows, or die cuts, so it is as close to CAS as I am ever going to get. It evolved because of what I did not have. Mainly, I do not have any stamps with wheels... 2 teenage sons who love cars, and no car stamps. I also was a little short on time and patience. The bg was an old piece of cardstock that I had colored with red food coloring and splattered with water. I used it a few times to see if certain inks could be sponged through stencils onto it, but the red was always too dark. Last night, on a whim, I just went wild stamping things that looked like machinery wheels. The best thing about that technique is that anything goes. Added a little gold and white gel pen, then spent way more time trying to get a photo than I spent making the card. TFL, Francie

I'm with Nancy- I LOVE this! The background is fantastic, and the collage stamping is fabulous - you chose some awesome stamps! Then you kicked it up another notch with the doodling. Straight into my faves!

This is fabulous, Francie! I especially love that you used a piece you held back and pondered over...I do that so often! DH accuses me of saving everything!
Doesn't that kill you to spend all that time on the photography when we could be stamping?!!! Grrrrr...happens to me all the time! This is so much fun! WTG thinking out of the box! I love your "wheels"! Beautiful card!
