LSC226 Aged Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: mlj-mlj

Here's my take on the limited supply challenge for today. The challenge, Chinese take out, was to pick one item from each of three menues. I chose
1. planes, traines and automobiles
2. Greens and browns
3. Natural fibers and hardware
And to top it off it had to be a masculine or boy card.
As I type this I realize that I missed one of the instructions- I should have watched those 'ands' more closely. Since my picture is already done, I promise to add a bit of twine to the hardware to satisfy the requirement for 3. Please don't call the challenge police! {I always have trouble following instructions}

I love the antique-y, vintage-y feel of this. That car image is terrific, and you "aged" this card just perfectly!! Very nice!
