I loved today's sketch because I thought it work well with my leftovers, hence the name 'Road trip revisited'. You have to look at the original card to appreciate my leftovers:
As you can see I made a diamond die out of white CS and stamped and sponged over it to get the negative effect on my original card. When I pulled up my stencil, I really liked what was left, so I decided to keep just for the right moment. Today was that moment. I just glued it down on white CS.
Now for the image. It is the same car - really! I stamped it, scanned it, resized it, and flipped it. Then I used the same stamps behind it that I had stamped on the die only stamped much lighter. Sponged, and it is done. Really had fun making this.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look - hope you like it :-)

I didn't even have to read your description to know what you had done with the bg, Barb. Pays to save those pieces! : ) Another terrific masculine card.

I like how your background looks on this card. I like your "scraps" even better than what you used on your other card. When you have them cut like this it really does look like a road map. Great job.
