I created almost twin cards but wanted them to be just a bit different so I flipped the image and coloured one truck red, the other blue. I flipped the balloons also and then on the computer, added the letters to their respective names. Printed digi images and coloured with prismacolour pencils and OMS to blend. Distressed the edges of pieces with distress ink. Popped up the balloons. Almost messed up my colour scheme with the Happy Birthday stickers! The blue ones are in their original colour; for the red Happy Birthday, I coloured the blue stickers with a red permanent marker and voila! Added Glossy Accents to the windshield and side window as well as the fog lights and headlights. Stickles on the balloons. Hope this brightens their day just a bit! tfl

Those trucks are every boy's dream, I am sure. I know my little brother spent hours watching workmen on the road near us, and I'm sure these will delight Nate and Will.
