This sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is open to interpretation as you can see from the Design Team's samples.
The moment I looked at this sketch I visualized using the splatters for a masculine birthday card and having the splatter mark as a backdrop for a vehicle.

Here's My Card:
Our nephew Tom's birthday falls on April 1st so it was time to get busy and make him a special card. Like me he's always been a big fan of hot American cars like the Dodge Charger series so I decided to use this sketch and Stampin' Ups! "Geared Up Garage" for the focal for his card.
My dream car back in the 70's was a yellow Dodge Charger Hellcat like this one in the photo.
Later models had more black on the roof and hood details but for my card I chose to keep the colouring fairly simple.
