I made this card for a visitor. He gave me a necklace, and told me he liked cars, planes, and boats. I drove him around town all day Wednesday, while it was hot and sunny!

Sophie this is a wonderful card! The design is very creative. From the fun sun to the fabulous use of the EF for the water and in between (love the roadway). Tons of detail to look at and enjoy. Definitely a favorite for me.

Great card, and I love the water. Such a personal card, and I totally feel the vibe of the sun on the hot pavement, and with any luck maybe a nice breeze coming off the water.

Wonderful card, Sophie...showing a sunny, warm day in a Southwestern metropolis(I'm guessing that by the cactus), Great feeling of bustling activity......all under the bright sun.

Very different from your usual style, Sophie - I'd never have picked it out from the gallery as yours. But I'd have picked it out straight away for a closer look , it's wonderful.
I know you say he gave you a necklace - but I'd say if you spent a hot day driving around the city it's you who deserves the thanks!!
