Watercolored the car and used CE over it to look like a good paint job, then sponged around the edges. Notice the manly tire tread on the punched deals? And the brads are METAL, another Man item.

Well HELLO husband of Patmethers..... Your card is absolutely fabulous and so, so MANLY. I love your car image and how you clear embossed it, really like the plaid dp and the tire tracks on the window tabs and cross strip are perfect. Wonderful colouring and sponging around the car.
Thank you so much for playing along today.
Warm Hugs to you

Wow, this is my favorite one of all your cards. You have done an outstanding job on this beautiful card. Love the car, the coloring, the CE,
The sky, the ground and the tire stamping. You just keep getting better and better with card making. Keep up the good work.

Now Pat told me you were lounging today. I see she was holding out on me and didn't tell me you were stamping. This is so awesome. I wish my hubby stamped. He would grow to appreciate my need for stamping. Well maybe not. Great coloring. I love it. TFS
