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.

I think you put together a wonderful card for a guy. Heck, I live here and don't know nuttin' about Nascar racing. Not really my cup of tea so to speak. But this is certainly great for the challenge and for Jess. Love it!

Sabrina, THIS is a CLASSIC!! The gold embossing really makes this card stand out,and all your eyelets, twine , the gloss on the headlights , the EF used on the dp in the bg and the H2o's really contribute to the vintage look!
