Whenever I make an over the top, too elaborate card it means only one thing...it has to be an occasion for one of my sons. My oldest son graduated from college 2 quarters early and this is the card I made for him. Thst was my super big event for 2017.
This is a bendi card, but I added a third bend panel just because I never like to follow directions without a little improvising. Why do something the easier way when you can drive yourself crazy by adding a few more steps. The yellow car has hearts for following the road to happiness and love. The blue sports car has stuff to symbolize fun and adventure, and the truck has a bag of gold to symbolize success. On the back I wrote a note that I hope the roads he travels in the years ahead all lead to love and happiness, fun and adventure, and success. Come join us in Robin's creative F4A challenge. TFL, Francie
