The challenge on Addicted to CAS is Grunge. I think that is a hard one to carry off but I am going to give it a try.
When I think of GRUNGE I think masculine. Some of the sample cards on the Addicted to CAS site aredefinately not masculine. Maybe I will have to try a feminine version. I could not go single layer. Single layer cards scare me - really scare me.
Since I think masculine, I dug out my favorite truck stamp. It is an old stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. I do not believe the new owners have brought back this image. They really should. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I distressed the edges of the image, mat and sentiment with my Tim Holtz distresser. I did some embossing on the upper corner of my card and then I got out a mask and used some distress paint to add the green and blue color to the card front.
I hope I achieved CAS and also GRUNGE. I am going to go make another card like this since I cut a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock and can make one more card. Both these cards will go in my next Operation Write Home box.
Thanks for stopping by.

Great card Barb! I think it is totally grunge! I'm not sure I have any grunge in me...but I may have to give this challenge a try. I love the truck image.
