I got inspired to use up a junk mail brochure when doing the Limited Supply challenge; this card wonÂ’t apply because I used brads and the sequins I had just didnÂ’t do it justice.
The heavy thread is used to sew car seats which I found in my junk box and the tweed background is from the brochure.
Ink distressing is done on the light colored panels. Since I used a glossy white scrap for the car the distressing has to be done with a straight up and down motion; dragging gives it a muddy look on glossy.
The photo tabs are left over pieces after punching the EK Success Iron Eagle.
This is my first card with the old car image and it is supposed to be blotchy but thatÂ’s nice because if I do add color to the image it will show up on that section.
I used Diamond Glaze to attach to the glossy junk mail panel. ItÂ’s the same product and Stampin UpÂ’s Crystal Effects.

Great use of the eagle punch scraps! What a wonderful collection of components to make a great masculine card! I am surprised how much I like the look in grayscale but it's perfect!
