Guess who broke down on the way to Walmart yesterday? Oh my gosh. It was so embarassing. It was like 95 degrees out and my minivan overheated and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I was on the exit ramp and the police and fire trucks came and traffic got all backed up. So now my car has been towed to a mechanic and I have to go to the Raynham police station to pick up a slip to go get my card. Clearly, I have to bring a thank you card with me. Especially since I have just the right stamps thanks to Craftin' Desert Divas!
Anyway, our Featured Stamper today is Pepperminpatty's and she has the cutest gallery! Her gallery is full of inspiration and cute scenes. I chose this card because it made me realize that I had these two landscape dies that would be great for my police scene. So I cut them both out and sponged the trees and grass and houses, then I sponged black soot for a road and added this sweet policeman with an action wobble because I love action wobbles.

That must have been a frightening moment!! I wouldn't like to be in this situation...but the most important is you're fine and I love the card you've made for the rescuer

Great CASE and use of a your landscape dies in the background to create your scene. Hope there is a happy ending to your story. Your card will be a day-brightener for the folks at the police station!
