I had a couple requests to talk about the background, so here goes. I did the crayon resist on the car with brocade blue. Underneath the car, I just applied brocade blue over and over with a sponge until it was dark and created a shadow. Then I added basic black to darken it even further. Above the car, I used lighter blue (I think it was bordering blue) and tried to apply it lightly so it wouldn't interfere with the stamped image. At the very top, I added a bit of black again to balance out the top and bottom of the cardstock border. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I have to admit that I wasn't sure what I was doing while I was doing it. I'll have to see if I can duplicate it sometime!
