Today's Twisted Sister challenge was to make a card using only gray, black or brown as the neutral colors. You could use all the other colors. I wanted to use Kraft with it, but I wasn't sure that was in the rulz of this challenge. You know, I wouldn't dare break the rulz. No, not me. I usually stamp on white so this was really a challenge for me. I suppose this was to make us think outside the box, well, for me, I think I must have been thinking in color. Yellow and red seems to go with racing and I think I like it better than the white I would have put with it.
My dh was an Ernhardt fan so he should like this one. I think there were flags that Ernhardt had or that I saw somewhere that were checkered and said, "fear this", so that is why I chose that title.

Yeah - the bus driver skidded not to hit the guy running after her with a box of straws - I just don't get it! He didn't even have my latte! I say he would have made a nice speed bump!

First of all, you nailed the challenge, and without even breaking the rulz!!! I love the black embossing on the red!! The tire tread in the BG is great! I was an Earnhardt fan, too, but I don't get to watch NASCAR much these days. That "Fear This" is perfect!! Thanks for allowing me to ride the bus! I'm lovin' it!!!

This is awesome Shirley. I live in the heart of Dale racing country. Even the McDonalds is decorated like this. I really like the embossing. It gives it a punch... I am still trying to find something for this challenge. It is a toughy.. I may have to go the kraft route. Super job.

I appreciate your explanation about "Fear This" cause I'm not a racing fan and didn't understand the sentiment. HOWEVER, your color choice rocks!!!!! Your DH should love this one! Great job.
