Passed

I was asked to make a card by Lisa to celebrate her son passing his driving test, and here is the card I made!

I used Paper Boutique from Polkadoodles (I have a bit of a thing about this car template and the sparkly Birthday cake!) and printed the A4 version onto 240gsm white linen effect card and then layered it up. More or less to the instructions (sort of), so it gives a front and a back to the car, both with a layered / decoupage effect.

I've added photo album tissue interleaving as 'windows' - vellum didn't feel right when I tried it, and also added the furry dice.

I printed the green 'P' in word and added them to the front and rear bumper and Conner's name has been cut using my Cuttlebug Baby Face alphabet set.

I'm just wondering if Lisa's car stays dent free.. and if so, how long??!!

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!

Driving Test!

Was asked to make this card by CreativeClare from the Crafts Forum for her friend who had just passed her driving test, loved to shop and had a little red car! Her son is also shown on the card as he starts school in September.

Thank you Clare!
