I've finally reached the Double Digits!! I found these stamps while flipping through the big old photo albums Mom keeps most of her stamps in. When I stuck down the black panel, I realized that it looked sort of plain, so I carefully sponged black ink around the edges of the card base. After everything was attached, however,
Mom suggested that I use her white gel pen to make little dots in the centers of the scallops on the black panel. I took her advice and now I'm glad I did! I'm pretty proud of how this turned out and I hope you like it too!!
Thanks for looking!!
Joanna
P.S. This card is for today's Ways to Use It challenge to make something in your card move!! On my card, the moving thing is the front panel with the car on it.

Joanna, this red, black, and white color scheme is so striking!! Your simple layout is so effective. I like the bit of sponging you did around the edges, and those white dots on the scalloped border set it off perfectly. Great job making your card "move!" Plus you picked the perfect sentiment.
I'm so proud of you!! Love you a bushel and a peck,
Mom
