I wasn't too crazy about this card as it started out. I layered my cardstock, trying for a masculine theme, which was difficult because I didn't have many papers to choose from that might work. I stamped and die cut the truck layer, then colored with Cra-Z-Art colored pencils and blended with baby oil gel and a blending stump. I was super nervous about my coloring/blending. I wasn't sure how the shading etc would turn out. Pop dots behind the truck and tag. It still looked plain, so I distressed the edges of card, tag and truck die cut. And added the brads. That's better. The only thing I'm wondering about is the visible line above the polkadot strip of paper... I'm wondering if I should/could have hidden it somehow.. Idk. What do 'YOU' think? Thanks for looking!

Oh, how sweet, Jennifer! I love this little truck - one of my favorite older sets that is always a keeper in my book! And your coloring is beautiful - congrats on using the pencils with the baby oil. I know it works having done it my self years ago. What great DP you've used, and a wonderful layout! As to the visible line, I agree with above. Not sure. But if I don't see it, it must be fine. I love it and think that the recipient will too! Hugs, sweet friend!
