Masculine Birthday Card

A short break from making Father's Day cards but still in the line of masculine cards, I came up with this one.
All stamps are Unity from the sets "Authentic Man" and January 2012 Kit of the Month.

Kept it simple.  Instead of coloring the whole car, I just used some Gelly Roll silver for some of the chrome.  I was too lazy to do fussy cutting so I just stamped the card right onto the light Kraft piece that I had already stamped with the frame. It just fits!  So then I decided to stamp the zigzag on the Kraft and use it as is.  Really like that stamp - it looks like it is stitched on.

The sketch is Unity :

Don't you love that embossing folder for cars, motorcycles, trucks?  And the screw brad - hope I can find some more when these are gone.

Challenges:
Pile It One - emboss
Kraft Journal - CAS
Whoopsi Daisy - not square
Timeless Tuesday - frame it
Crafty Creations - no squares
Frosted Designs - travel
Totally Papercrafts - use Kraft
Sister Act - anything
