I have to admit I was quite impressed with the workmanship that goes into restoring these old vehicles. So much so that I was inspired to create a card based on this one:
Don't you just love this color combination? And doesn't the front end look like a face? Wonder what it would it say if it could talk :)
And here is my card:
I used the classic car image from Hero Arts clear set CL478 Going and colored it with markers. I used a silver gel pen on the chrome parts (hard to see in the pic) and I tried to make the matting look like an old polaroid photograph. Wasn't sure about the "road" but thought I needed to somehow ground the car image.
Other Materials Used: Papertrey ink cs, Stampin' Up sentiment, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Source of pp unknown, Provocraft punch, photo corners
Took lots of pics and thought I would share some of my faves. Can you imagine cruisin' in this beauty to the drive-in? :
Somehow I don't think this is the car's original paint job! :
This electric blue was dazzling! But I keep wondering how anyone can see out those tiny windows well enough to drive! :
And lastly I found something very endearing about this old school "Rat Rod"! :
