This will be a birthday card for my hubby come June (If I can wait that long to give it to him!!! Teehee!)
For the TSC challenge, we were to do our favorite technique, make it a masculine card and use black somewhere.
The images are a RAK from jdmommy (Anne, Thanks so much, GF!!!!) I just love the car and the gas guy! The sentiment is also a RAK from Lovely Linda (Thank you, Sistah!). Since purchasing Glossy Accents, I have been accenting anything that I can find!!!!! Good thing the dogs can run fast!!!! LOL!
I ran my black base through the CB using the circle ef. I then secured a black dotted ribbon on it. I stamped the image with Whispers black and colored in with colored pencils. I cut the gas guy out and pop dotted him onto the main image. I added Glossy Accents to the gas pump, bumper, headlights and front windows of the truck.
I found these silver and black round grommets (?) and spelled out Mark's name. I added three screw brads.
I really wanted to put "Got Gas?" or "You can fill my tank, honey!" or something like that as the sentiment............maybe I"ll alter this at a later date. Heehee!
What do you think?

Most excellent! That is the coolest vintage looking card. I love the gas guy, the truck and pump are perfect. I like everything you did with this, using the glossy accents looks great. I like the sentiment and the brads are all very cool. Great card. TFS
