We have a birthday party tomorrow and I had to create a quick card. I used WMS's Half Pint Heros for both the image and sentiment. I colored the car in red because what little boy (or big for that matter) doesn't like a flashy red sports card. Then to raise it a notch I went over the car in a red glitter pen. The red was also inspired by
this piece at Etsy. I really liked how the red popped off the screen at me and wanted to achieve the same thing here. The bakcground was created by sponging Weather Wood and Broken China distress ink over white cardstock and then flicking water over it for the worn effect. The banner was punced out by using a PTI banner die. I wish I had do the little street dashes leading up to the sentiment but the black was too stark and I don't have a grey or blue pen/marker so blank it is.
Sorry for the bad photo as I had already tied it to the gift before I remembered I still needed to take a picture.
