This is for Shirley's challenge of things with wheels. I decided I wanted to make a card that had wheels that turn. I enlarged my digi to 4.25" tall and printed it on white, blue, and gray. I cut the elephant out of blue and the wheels and mirror out of gray for my paper piecing. I wanted the card to be a fun bright color, so I went with yellow. I don't live in a city, nor do I ever visit them, so I'm only now realizing that it looks like my elephant is driving a taxi. Anyway, I glued it onto a shorter card base and cut the shape of the card onto the card base. Then I fastened the wheels on with brads, so they move. Lastly, I covered the entire car with Glossy Accents, to make it really pop. I was worried for a bit that this was going to be a fail, but it all came together and I'm happy with it.

So cute and no prob that the elephant is driving cause I see his passenger the mouse in the backseat! ( and altho many associate yellow with cabs- in my town most of the cabs are GREEN - go figure. . .) Super coloring and loving the brads on the wheels.
