A Green Morris Minor

I sometimes get some strange requests for cards but I see these as a challenge! I'd been asked to make a Driving Test Congratulations card but it had to show a green Morris Minor car.....

So I followed the Aly's Sunday Challenge sketch:

And made this! Backing papers are Funky Hand - Minty Madness download as it matched the image of the car. I found road sign images and printed these off small and added them as per the sketch. The car has been added with 3d foam pads onto an acetate circle and the sentiment has been added with a strip of acetate too - written with a Sharpie marker.


Hope she likes it!

I found a cute fortnightly challenge blog whilst hopping around last week and it is hosted by an 11 year old called Aly! The blog is called Aly's Sunday Sketch Challenge - pop over and have a look! She is currently asking for sponsors so if you fancy it let her know!

Here is her sketch for the challenge:

And here is my interpretation! Papers and image are from Love and Cherish from Polkadoodles with the organza ribbon and buttons from my stash. The image is pre-coloured (very handy!) and I've dotted around the edges of it and the card with a pink gel pen after inking.

I've shaped the card and image by drawing round my largest Nestie and then cutting it out - just gives the edge something else. Quite like the technique so don't be surprised if you see it again!
