Bus Card

I have been following a blog http://www.technomadia.com/ and have really enjoyed the posts from this couple.  Not only are they young, hip and smart (very), they are FUN.  They are doing what so many people wish they could do...live on the road in a bus (or rv).  But recently they ran into a huge challenge with a very $erious engine problem and have been awaiting repairs in Billings, Montana. Sure glad this is summer and not winter!!  So... I've done a card in anticipation of their impending departure and joyous rejoining the road!  I will email them the link to this post once they hit the road again, hopefully by early next week.

The bus was done using Art Deco...I did numerous layers and tried very hard to capture the colors of their bus, Zephyr.  I used Design Studio to place two shadows of the bus shape, flip one and weld them to make the card base. This was very hard to photograph as the silver shiny paper kept reflecting my image and the colors I am wearing!  I also could not get a small enough "GM" to cut out, so I ended up having to use a silver pen.  The sentiment inside the card was computer generated and the "Wahoo!" is from the cartridge Old West.  I'm showing a picture of the card and then a picture of their bus.  I am also entering this into the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #171-Shaped Cards at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2013/07/challenge-171-shape-card.html
