This was an interesting technique..I like how my bg turned out. I used a brown paper bag and sponged on distress inks, then spritzed with water to dilute the color. I then added some gesso that was thinned with water. I cut the teeny tiny pieces of the scene out of old books using my new Paper Smooches dies..eeck..talk about small!! I hand drew the car and added tiny paper punched circles for the tires. I think that's it..thanks for looking!

Your city scene/travel card is just fabulous, Polly. Love how you used the test paper for the elements of your scene and the bg is lovely. The little car moving along on the road to its destination is "Polly Fun".

This is super cute! Love how you made the scene and have the car and street rolling across the bottom! Love how you used the brown paper for your beautiful background, too!

Polly, what a fabulous scene you created! I love it all, but I think my favorite part is the road cut from the text with the tiny car and wonderful sentiment! Awesome card!
