Here I am finally done w/ Christmas cards, except for stragglers. I'm ready to concentrate on something else! I combined 3 challenges on this Birthday card.
CC301 - I was shocked to find out I had no Marina Mist c/s, so I used Brocade Blue. The car is stamped in MM. This is really a nice color combo.
SC311 - I flipped the sketch to accomodate the Mapquest map. If you look real hard you might be able to figure out where this one is going, but I'm not gonna tell. I used the left over popdot pieces to pop the car & sentiment.
F4A43 - Take a break from Christmas & make a birthday card. This was good for me b/c I almost forgot I needed a birthday card.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

I like the way you used a local street map as background. Cool idea.

I'd forgotten I used to use maps as bg for congratulations on passing your driving test cards which people send here, and this fab card has reminded me - wonderful stamped sports car, these are great colors and I like how you've added the sentiment!
