This is for the 4th Mini VSN challenge..use strips (no stripes[it is ok if your strips have stripes, though]). I used some Paper Studio textured white-core green cardstock strips for the grass, and some random blue paper strips for the clouds (yes, I realize that skies are blue with white clouds, but you get the idea!). I didn't completely adhere the clouds to give them more wispiness.
The cute, cute, cute (did I mention CUTE?) image is "Stuart and puppy Scooter fly" from Eat Cake Graphics. I colored Stuart, Scooter & the wheels with prismacolor pencils, then stamped the image onto some brown card stock and cut out the box. I also cut out another box flap to layer for some added dimension that is a bit hard to see.
If I had had more time, I would have gone out and bought some gesso to sturdy up those wheels and Stuart's head...we almost had an unfortunate incident with Stuart. But surprisingly a shopping trip did not fit into the 45 minute time limit.
Stamps: Eat Cake Graphics
Paper: Paper Studio green, unknown blue, brown, & white
Ink: Memento Black
Other: Prismacolor pencils, popdots, cuteness

OK, this is hilarious! Thanks so much for your enjoyable description as well as (of course) the card itself. How can I describe it ... "cute," maybe?
