My husband asked me this morning to make a Christmas card that he could bring to our mechanic. He wanted it to say "Merry Christmas to our Town's Unsung Hero". No problem. I found [url=https://www.lakeside.com/Home-Decor/Lighted-Decor/Vintage-Lighted-Holiday-Accents//prod3100051.jmp?fm=search][color=red]this[color][url] cute inspiration. I put the tree in the back of the truck and used my white gel pen to make a bunch of snowflakes falling in the sky. I made a text box with dark blue fill and white letters and printed the background. The letters weren't fat enough, so I had to fix them with my white gel pen. I colored and cut the truck, tree, and presents and covered them with Wink of Stella (silver by accident, but it still looks good). And I stamped the tree branch on the background and colored it with gel pens. Finished with a colored pencil shadow on the ground.

Oh, Jen, you got me with the fantastic little red truck! I love the inspiration piece you selected and your card reflects it well. The computer-generated sentiment is awesome and I love the branch with falling snow. Your mechanic will be elated with the awesome card, Jen!
Wow, you are clever putting all of this together for your husband and mechanic. I bet he is going to appreciate this oodles and oodles. He probably doesn't get many thanks. Wonderful card all around!!

I love the red truck and the awesome sky. I am thinking your mechanic will flip for this card.
