Thoughts of Father - masculine card

What car guy doesn't dream of coming across a "field find" or "barn find" old car, 

one that has been long forgotten but could be brought back to life ?

This image reminds me of those types of cars 

and I think most car guys would like the image - even if it does have flowers on it.

The image is from the Thoughts Of Father stamp set from Stampin' Up!

It can be time consuming to color though.

I like to try to color the old car so that it looks rusty. 

I use classic inks from Stampin' Up! and a watercolor pen to paint with.

The image was stamped on Naturals Ivory card stock.

I distresed the edges. 

The mat is Chocolate Chip.

The base is Kraft that I ran the bottom portion of through a paper crimper.

Chocolate grosgrain ribbon. 

A button off of an old shirt destined for the rag bag

(I love repurposing items!) for embellishment. 

Thanks for looking =)
