This will go to John who is currently "couch bound" for the next 3 months after breaking his ankle in TWO places. - No sneaking out to the garage to tinker on his motorcycle or Classic Car. . . that's like taking stamps away from us crafters!
I started with the Memory Box Planks, running sepia ink over the dies to accentuate the wood grain during the cut. I sponged a bit more sepia after cutting to add more interest & variations to the planks. Stamped the Unity car on WC paper and watercolored. I used Silver WOS on the hubcaps grill, and bumper. Once dry, I fussy cut the vehicle to overlay on the plank wall. Finished with my sentiment that was "nailed" to the wall with sequins.

Oh Linda, I am in awe over your card. I know John will love it for sure. Thank you so much for thinking of him inspite of not feeling well yourself. Your sentiment is perfect.
I love the car against the plank bg.

Fabulous car on this fabulous card. Love the planks in the bg. Your fussy cutting is exquisite -- I had to look really really hard to see any indication and that was only because of your write-up that I did that. Awesome card for John.
Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself and try to "stay garaged" for a bit yourself. Hugs.

Love your card, the background is lovely too- really like planks behind the car. Hope the cards will give John a break from his lack of ability to do much while he heals!

Your wonderful plank background is a great setting for that gorgeous Mustang .... my first car was a burgundy 1966 Mustang! Your sentiment treatment is cool and so masculine! John's going to love this! I hope you are on the mend, Linda!
