Half Sheet c/s size
I distressed the corners using a bone folder and direct to paper technique was used on all layers with ink close to the c/s color. Watercolor crayons for truck color.
The punched squares in the bottom strip came that way from a print shop and the old watch face is a garage sale find. While looking for supplies the wire caught my eye and thought it might just work.
This is a retirement card for a friend who taught high school automotive for 35 years. Now that school is starting again I consider him officially retired. He now gets to play with his vintage car collection of three. I worked with some of his students who admired him for his dedication.

Fabulous! I love all the texture you put into this card. The wire is perfect, makes me think of jumper cables or wire something-or-anothers in the innards of the car! Just perfect!
