I was totally inspired by the design of it, the contrasting colors, the way they were set up on the truck inspired the layout and color choices for my card.
I used barely banana as my base, then I added choc chip strip at the bottom to mimick the base of the truck, then I added the close to cocoa to mimick the upper part of the truck. I then added another piece of choc chip 3x3.75, but didn't like the choc chip with the choc chip, so I added creamy caramel behind it.
Then I found my image, a hero arts stamp. I used my markers and on very vanilla, used close to cocoa and more mustard for the butterfly. The sentiment is done in choc chip.

I liked that truck a lot, but I could never been inspired by it like you were - this turned out so well. I really like the little mustard butterfly with the other brown tones.
