Paper Pieced Scooter!

Happy Monday to you all! How was your start of the week? To tell you the truth I was so pleased it was over..such a long day..LOL.

To make my day brighter, I came home on my break to find that I had more entries to my first Challenge...actually I was tickled pink and brought a big smile to my face..if you are just finding out about my first challenge you can check out all the details, HERE.

So tonight I am sharing a fun card that I have created with Paper Smooches adorable Spiffy Scooters stamp set..I knew when this was released I was going to own this super sweet set.

I took several different pieces of patterned paper from My Minds Eye, stamping the scooter from the set and trimming the different sections out and piecing together, adding Walnut Stain distress ink to the bottom of the tyres. I took more patterned paper from My Minds Eye and trimmed a small strip, then using the Martha Stewart Fringing Scissors cut into the paper making it look like grass, adding some Peeled Paint distress ink to the edges of the patterned paper. Next, trimming a blue piece of card stock to form a card, sewing around the edge of the card, adding the grass paper and scooter. Stamping onto more patterned paper with the cloud in the set, trimming around the cloud and adding to the card stock. Finally, adding a sentiment above the scooter and Glossy Accents to parts of the scooter to complete the card.

I cannot wait to get this set all inky again..LOVE it!

Okay, I am off to watch a little TV and relax for the night...maybe sneak in a little crafty time, if I don't fall asleep in my chair first..LOL!

Have a wonderful night!

Hugs
