When I read the challenge this morning I had something far more cutesy in mind. Plan A was to use Circus Train, but hey, two cards with that and they might help fill the street but they'd never arrive in time. Plan B was a caravan, that would surely help fill the street and reach the mall. But somehow I ended up with the smallest car in my collection.
Background is an old map of France. I sponged the edges with black and then added black EP just to make sure the ink was set and wouldn't smudge.
Rubber Romance Boulangerie and Chocolaterie stamped in Versafine Sepia. I tore the edges and sponged them, painted in some black for the road and added Flower Soft to the tree/window boxes.
Snoopy stamped on Bristol Board with Versafine Black and coloured with distress inks. The street scenes are up on very thin foam tape, Snoopy's popped up on thick foam dots.
