Feel like going for a drive? Me too. Wish I HAD a red convertible.
For today's WT challenge:
something blue: the sky
something new: some images & the convertible die
something old: the ink, embossing powder, the die cut ovals (from my stash, cut who knows how long ago)
something borrowed: the sketch (from yesterday's challenge)
So this is also for the sketch challenge. The hardest part of this card was paper piecing the convertible. I had to use the debossed side in order for it to face right so I could put the penguin in the driver's seat. The little scene was stamped onto die cut oval I already had in my stash. So was the red oval behind. I sponged on some blue for the sky then white embossed the snowflakes on top. The sentiment was also embossed and just between us, I used the center of the big red oval then die cut the smaller oval out of it. That way I didn't have to try and find a matching piece of red and really, who's gonna see it behind the top layer? The lacy snowflake sections were snipped and glued onto the card front and were part of die cut I had sitting there. Love it when I get to use so many leftovers! The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

This is amazing. I love the way you used the frost die. It gives such great 3D look to the background. Married with the wet embossed snow flakes, giving it a realistic look. The adorable little car. I just love it. tfs
