Well, I've been a bit brain-drained lately and just to prove the point, this morning I made the bottom card with a red corvette for 6 yr old Levi...OOPS. Levi is TWO!
So back to the drawing board with some old Thomas the Train dp I had from way back. I found some Thomas the Train clipart which I printed and fussy cut. Adhered to the circle which is mounted with a wobble -- because who doesn't enjoy a wobble.
The vette was colored with Copics and fussy cut. Since I messed up the first one and had to reprint anyways, I decided to cut out three so it's layered with two pieces of cs. I die cut CHAMP from the white layer and then embossed with the diamond plate ef. I used the blue cs behind the lettering rather than embedding die cut letters back in. Since Levi's brother, Luke, is 5, I will send him the vette. Sometimes it's nice for the siblings to get a bit of attention too,
So I may be brain-drained, but hopefully it turned into something fun for both brothers. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for the parents. Sending much positive energy and prayers to this family. TFL

Two wonderful cards for Levi and Luke. I'm sure the family will appreciate your thoughtfulness. I, too, made cards for each boy. It is always hard on siblings when one of them is ill and gets a lot of extra attention. Such a difficult time for this family.

You, along with Gracie, have reminded me that I meant to include Luke too. I should see what I have in my stash. I'm sorry that Corvette gave you such trouble, but it looks amazing. And yes, a wobble is always fun. I hope you feel less drained soon.

Your wonderful designs will be an encouragement to Levi and Luke as well as their parents! These both turned out just great .... even if you were feeling a little drained. Hope you are feeling much better now!

You made 2 of the most adorable cards for these little fellows! Both are so cute as well as beautiful. I should be brain-drained to make such perfect cards for youngsters...

What a wonderful mistake you made and I’m sure big brother will be thrilled to get his own card. Super cute cards, although I’m partial to Thomas because of memories…my daughter loved him when she was young.
