Crossword and Car

The current challenge at The Male Room is Inspired by Television  and at The Alphabet Challenge it is Wheels, so as my knowledge of TV is pretty sketchy, and of "blokey" programmes, sketchier still, so I thought I would combine the two and make a car themed card, to represent the programme Top Gear.

However, there was a change of plan.....


I made a background by stamping the tyre marks randomly over blue paper, then stamped the car and coloured and fussy-cut it (both stamps are from a very old Linda Luckin set, no longer available) and then I thought "hang on, that car looks just like Inspector Morse's car"  - so what else could I incorporate to make it represent the programme "Morse"?

Well, Morse was a massive crossword fan. There's a lovely crossword stamp on my wishlist but I've not got around to buying it yet, so I rummaged through the newspaper basket and - YES - there was a crossword magazine with an in-solved crossword that was exactly the right size for this card.

So here we have it - a Morse card which I am sharing with the above challenges.
