World's Best Dad

Hi there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of white card for the background.  I cut a tapered strip of Slate grey card and added some white lines down the middle of it.  I cut the Vintage Car die out of aqua card.  I used a white pencil to shade the sides and a grey pencil to fill in the tires and bumper.  I added mounting foam to the back of the car and attached it to the road.  I cut a circle out of some card and sponged Mustard Seed distress ink through it to create a sun in the background.  I cut the World's Best Dad sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece.  I added mounting foam to the back and seated it in the upper corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.
