This card is going to Curtis, you can read all about the party for him here: MMTPT550 ~ February 5, 2019 ~ Get Your Cray-on by Jennifrann at Splitcoaststampers
Thank you Jen for this fun challenge I never tried this before your challenge so I'm glad to discover something new to me!!
I used the Crayon Rubbed Embossing and really love this technique I'll use it often I think to make fun back grounds, Instead of using a brayer I've chosen for sponge and DOX mixing several colors and a masculine embossing folder, I stamped the bicycle and colored it and stamped the sentiment glued with foam tape to give some dimension.

Wow, your background is so soft and dreamy, Anita. I had such struggles when I first tried this technique and I think I bought about four different white crayons to try to get a good result. The little bicycle is just sweet and the wheel background is perfect.

That looks like a fun technique...you got great results. I love the gear embossing on this...perfect for a bus driver. Won't he be surprised to get a card from France!
