I made this card for my FIL for Father's Day.  He is a big Ford man and I think he'll love this card!  The image is a pre colored digi image from Doodle Pantry called Classic Cars 2 and the layout is for Mojo Monday Sketch #450.  DP are digital papers from Doodle Pantry, red cs from Craft Smith, and grey cs from The Paper Studio.  Stampin' Up! banner die, sentiment printed in Silhouette Studio, twine from We R Memory Keepers, hickory smoke distress ink, and the image was cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched oval die.
