Driving on by...

...to share a card with you. I had to make a shaped card and as i don't own a die cutting machine of any description I had no idea what I was going to do. Then I got an idea to enlarge  the combi van stamp and tada!!
I actually only made a one layer card when I first made this. and added  Lil Lad Stefan.I was happy with it, so left it at that!! I showed my boys the next morning  and my 6 year old said it needed a driver and a surfboard on the top!! So I went back last night and decided to print out another combi, add flowers to it and added Lil Lolita Kellita (as the driver). I coloured all the images in with Tria's. I added some kindyglitz to the combi and there is some shimmer chalk on the lights!! I've also added acetate to make the windows for the combi!! I put the second combi on foam to lift it so that Lil Lolita Kellita could sit in the drivers seat!! I couldn't add a surfboard to the top as it would not fit in an envelope and felt it needed to lie flat to make it lok real!! But it still looks fabulous thanks to Liam!! Lucky I have my two little critics who I show my cards to everyday!! :)

I have entered this card into the following challenges:
* Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
* Cute Card Thursday - No Designer Paper
* Allsorts challenge Blog - Free and Easy
* Stampalot Challenge - Whatever you Fancy
* Stamp Something - August Digi Day

Until Next Time...Enjoy!!
