Hello Friends,
Recently our dear little Toyota Camry was put on death row. Since we are waiting to see how the Lord will meet this need in our lives, I made an encouragement card for my husband. He liked it very much.
I have gotten in the habit of sopping up the extra paint in my palette, during clean-up, with scraps of water colour paper. One of the pieces became my graffiti-ed brick wall with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, which I inked up with SU Old Olive ink. I used another embossing folder on black cardstock for the road and heat-embossed the wooden key with silver embossing powder. Then I sponged over it with black ink. The car is a vintage image.
Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to pick up today's free image while you are here - an Angora rabbit.
Hugs & smiles,
Teresa

I love this Teresa. A great tip to make some background papers, and it looks good as your wall. I hope you find a solution for your car. Hugs Ursula.
Great idea for making a background this way. Love your card.
Masterfully done! Love the use of image and composition! So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge!
Wow, fab card, Teresa--I am sure your hubby did like it very much!! Really love the bg you created, as well as the embossed road! :^)
I hope you find a new vehicle that fits your needs soon!
[And maybe you should start selling your digis! They are certainly worthy of being in a collection! :^)]
Hugs, Penny
