This is for our young Teapot Tuesday recipient who loves race cars. I knew exactly which digi set to use! Hambo has such quirky "retro" cartoon images that I just love and their Race Car digi set fit the bill. I made the background by repeating the lightening bolt and I personalized the car with his name. Of course, had to put the car on a wobbler.
Big new-to-me tip to share too!! I just learned this from my demonstrator and it was a lightbulb moment. To create the banner/flag ends on the sentiment piece, use the long side of the SU tailored tag punch. I often have wanted this exact angle for a banner and most banner punches are limited in width or their angles make too deep of a cut. SO, this made me so happy to learn. Plus it's another way to use something I already had in a new way.

A wobbly race car with the driver's name -- perfect for Sam! That image is adorable and the lightning bolts are especially fun. And, thanks for the banner tip.

Nice tip on the banner - if I had that punch. I sometimes use a square one but I agree, it can be too acute an angle. Speedy recovery is certainly the right sentiment to go with that dashing car.

I'll bet Sam gives out a whoop! when he see's your card!! The wobbler feature is an incredible addition to Sam's personalized race car! I really like your tent card fold, too!
