Challenge #224 Sketch~Old Car

Image may contain: car and outdoorI thought this lovely challenge at: Case Colours and Sketches would work lovely as a Father's day card. 
So I made this delightful card for my dad.  Who loves old cars and has passed that  love on to me.   Here's a picture of him with his old car.  One of many in his life time, but this one he keeps.  I grew up in Dad's garage, head under the hood, fixing and tinkering around on vehicles.  Pull them home and fix them up.  There wasn't a car dad couldn't fix.  Any ways this is where the "rubber meets the road"  on this card.. notice how  if you drop the "D" in card you get car.. haha.. perhaps that's why I like making car(d)s.  Seriously I just like working with my hands and creating things.  I did however lay a little rubber track on the bottom of this card and I fussy cut the car to be able to pop it up on silver foil paper.  I thought it gave it a real authentic look.  Like what you would see as a sign spinning at the local garage in town.  OH there goes my imagination again.  Any ways  Hope you like the card.   Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. 
Keep Smiling 😊 Keep Stamping
