Back to casing my Bestie again, this time choosing this card for the fabulous scene, and wonderful sky, which is all about I could get done! I used Shirley's layout, and framed it with Spellbinder's Romantic Rectangles. If you have time to watch this video for Blue Skies, featuring, you may giggle a little to see the photos they used. It so reminded me of Shirley's light-hearted approach to life. Sissy-Bestie, thanks for the blue skies, and inspiration you give, in stamping, and friendship. LYMI, lots!
Main image is watercolored, and a thick coat of Crystal Effects was added to the headlights. Truck is framed up with Cottage Cutz trees as well... (man, I love these!) The sky is made using SU's Bashful Blue ink sponged over a torn paper towel. Both the truck image and inside sentiment are from River City Rubber Works. I do believe Shirt could embrace the sentiment as well. It reads "If you can't be a good example, be a dire warning". Yeah...that works!
Thanks for looking!

I'd be hopping into that front seat with nary an invitation - a real beauty, Sis, and afterall, another love of the Bus Driver - you KNOW she loves her a truck too - great coloring with the sky matching the truck and those TREES are the bomb! The RRectangles framed your truck right out of the box - love the embossed brown layer - makes the whole truck come right at you !
Bet your Bestie is LOVIN' this and all the warm fuzzies you sent her with it!! HUGS

This is just awesome. I love how the pine trees add a wonderful forest effect to the card. It's like looking at a picture of my husband's truck while he's hunting in the woods...lol Beautifully done.
