Sabrina gave us the challenge to use an automobile. I don't really have any stamps, but I did have a photo in my mind. When my husband and I were married, my dad had a small car collection. He had 2 1930 cars. We were sitting in the roadster. Can you believe I can't find the photo right now?!! This is what happens when you have been married for 28 years. It's time for a clean up. Anyway, that is a pic of a car I saw on the internet. It's similar to one my dad had.

What a fun story, and that car is so cool. Your photo must be pretty special - better go looking for it! I love the yellow framing you've added to this and the interesting die cut element.

Great old car - I remember when every newlywed in our small town was ferried around in someone's treasured ancient vehicle! Hope you find your photo - These are truly priceless treasures. Love the texture in your frame with the dry embossed rectangle overlaid with the honeycomb die cut.

what fun that you found a similar one to use, Kim! I hear you about hunting around for long married stuff. That car is a treasure, but I can't imagine keeping those white walls clean!

Oh, what a shame you couldn't find the real photo, that would have been lovely to see...but we have your memory and can imagine you sitting in there. Old vintage cars are very popular as wedding cars here. I really like your matting with the textured honey-yellow and honeycomb overlay.

OH, WHAT A SPLENDID MEMORY! I LOVE the car & your sketch! And the black die that you've added makes this POP! I also LOVE the embossing folder. It makes me think that it might be the inside upholstery of the car! ;) Inky Hugs for coming over to visit! ;)

Great image you found for your card. My dad had a 1930 ford when I was a kid. He got it so he could restore it but he had so many other cars to work on that he never got around to that car and eventually sold it.
