Welcome
Some time ago I was experimenting with distress inks, watercolour paper and gold perfect pearls, at least that is what I think I used on this background... Or then again it may have been watercolour paints.
Needless to say it was months ago rather than weeks, and my memory has failed me - oops!
I took the background and made a couple of ribbon 'roads' on it.
The images were stamped on scraps of coloured card, silver embossed and fussy cut, and mounted with foam dots.
The images are from a set called Toy Trucks by Flonzcraft
The sentiment was white embossed.
The coloured panel was then mounted over a bright blue base to make a fun card for a small boy's 5th birthday.
I am linking this to:
(Inspired by the motor/mechanical theme)
(A Fire engine with loads of water on board, and I think watercolours on the background)
(The trucks were stamped on and cut from snippets)
