Welcome
This card was made for a young boy turning four
The image is a Wags 'n' Whiskers Stamp called Speed Racer
I coloured the image with PrismaColor pencils, added some WoS on the car, fussy cut it and mounted it with foam dots on the background.
The background is one that I had made for another card, over a year ago, and then discarded. It was made with modelling paste through a stencil, then painted with water colour paints and sprayed with a glimmer mist.
I added the sentiment stamped and white embossed onto a scrap of card that matched my base, and cut it into a banner shape before adhering it.

The personalized license plate is way too cool. That is an interesting background, makes for a bumpy road but really nifty looking.
Love that cobblestone background and the fun race card driver!
