I really wanted to do a barn since I have a "thing" for them. I take pictures of them, have several paintings, and even a couple of books about barns. But. . .I couldn't think of a good way to do one. Another thing I like is old rusty stuff, so that's the direction I ended up taking.
The truck is cut from Nifty Fifties and inked with a variety Distress Inks. It's mounted on foam tape above some gravely looking paper. The big stumbling block to making cards like this is coming up with an appropriate sentiment. I thought this fit. Inside it says "Certainly not you! Happy Birthday".
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find inspiration in the things around you.
