Grungy /arty at Scrap the boys

This month's challenge at Scrap the Boys was arty/grungy style.

My layout started with background paper I thought I'd never use.
This is my nephew who has been car mad since he stood on the front seat of his dad's car when he was 2 saying "broom,broooom".He grew up to become a truck driver and also has qualifications as a driving instructor. In his case ,we saw it coming.

I started by painting white acrylic around where the photo would go. I've overlayed a mask of cogs using black ink, purposely smudging some on the edge of the photo. I zigzagged it in place. Washi tape  and brads underneath and a rub on saying MAN completed that area.
There is another rub on of a truck above the photo plus some metal screws.
My journaling tag was made by misting rust colour over a punched kraft shape. It sits above another mask of chevrons.
Finally, I put my title along the edge of the road.
