This is a card I made for my niece who has just turned 17. She has been quite reluctant to get her drivers licence -as you can apply for them when you turn 16 - but just lately she has begun to drive. I wanted to encourage her in her driving - so I used this CUTE image from Sparkle and Sprinkle - called Henry - for her birthday card.
I really liked how it turned out - and so did she. It's simple card - but I thought the image was so cute!
Thanks for looking!

Wanna B Detective, this is just too special for someone her age and learning to drive. I have to acknowledge I am not a fan of the top note die; but I really happen to love it on this card. Red and White are striking colors together, and your simplicity only adds to the sweetest. Great coloring, too, my friend.

This is so cute. You have colored it so nicely. I love the labels nestie. I just got mine. I love this car, I got the set when I was in Grass Valley at Jenny's store.

Now this is adorable. I just love it. She must have too. Great job Deborah. Your coloring is beautiful. I was so excited to get my DL but I know that so many are scared to drive. It just takes time. Super card. I can see why she loved it. Mostly cause it came from you....

That is an adorable image and what a neat thing to encourage her. This card is very cute. Do you have one for parents who are getting gray hair because their 17-year-olds are now driving?
