Embarassing thing to admit about this card . . . I THINK this is a Ford Mustang (it's very annoying when stamp companies don't put a name on the stamp!!!# Tried to look this up on the Internet and I think I'm right. If I'm not, this card won't mean the same to the recipient, but I'll explain, so hope he gets a kick out of it one way or the other!
Borrowed the idea of the metallic bkgrd from MMTPT138-For Kim by Barbarar20 at Splitcoaststampers. First used Spellbinders die on metallic paper, then thru ef. Used alcohol inks until I got the colour to match cs #it is not as purple IRL as in pic#. Stamped car image #after SEARCHING the Internet to find out what kind of car!!!) Used prismacolour pencils & gamsol to blend. Used distress inks around edge and around edge of cs and strip of DP.
Layered everything. Added pop dots to car image. The screws are brads that were pewter-colour. Used silver alcohol ink to match. tfl

Welcome to the crazy house. We could use a few sane members just to keep us honest ... but watch out, it is SO darn contagious!
Your card is perfect. I love the embossing behind the image, the nailheads, and the edging. Welcome to the group. Ya;ll come back now, ya hear?

Woo-hooo! Yes m'am that is a classic Ford Mustang, and you have done this image fine! I love the rough, masculine look and all those layers! Wonderful!

Yup... that is most definitely a Ford Mustang Fastback.... might even be a '68 Shelby! It's an awesome card for Kim... he is absolutely gonna love it! Love the layout, the embossed panel and the screw-head brads!
