old car

Eclipse cards an be very addictive! I have only tried them on a small scale so far, there is a limit using my bigshot, but the plus is that I have a magnetic platform for that which sio far has outweighed the size disadvantage.
The latest Male Room challenge for something with a car reminded me of the approach of Father's Day and the need for a few male cards in the box......
My only car stamp is from the eccentric Edwardian gentleman set for Chocolate Baroque, so maybe more of a grandad card? Anyway, I created a sponged blue/green distress ink background with random stamps from the set and cogs from steampunk butterfly in the same distress inks.
The car was stamped using black versafine, then I decided to add some  water for a bit more interest - flicking wet fingers produced rather more splodges than sprinkles, so maybe not such a good idea!
Letters were die cut before the card was mounted onto a piece of black card, then onto a white base card. Letter centres were glued directly onto  the card, then the letters added slightly offcentre using foam pads.

I am entering this for the following challenges,
