This flagger flagged and fell behind on the first lap. My excuse, and I am sticking to it, is that Nascar is all-American and I don't know nuttin' about it. Not that I'd do a whole bundle better with Grand Prix, but at least I'd know some of the teams and drivers. So I concentrated on making a suitable card for Jess, as I don't think a lot of my output is suitable for a 24 year old guy. And hey, this car was fast in its day, and it's certainly lasted so that should get me in the front door along with my club sandwiches.
A2 black base. DCWV black and white paper embossed with cogs folder wiped with red ink, and torn. Eyelets set in card and string woven through. The Little Paper Shop car was stamped and embossed with gold on jeans paper and cut with Labels 1. I used a black Sakura glaze pen for the wheels, gems for the headlamps, Glossy Accents on the windscreen and some H2Os on the car.

What a fabulous card. That antique gold embossed auto is so cute with the gem headlights and glossy accents windshield. I really like the look the H2O's give it, too. You certainly are clever with the string and eyelets. I'm lucky if I can tie a descent knot in my shoe laces - being a lefty I tie everything backwards. Jess should be thrilled with your great gut card.
