Digi image + sentiment

Morning everyone! Back again after my adventure at the hearing clinic. Some of my hearing is doing fine and the rest isn't. LoL It will be a tiny hearing aid in each ear, so I will walk around with small antennas. LoL I am joking but they do look like that, if you manage to see them. In two weeks time they will be mine. Keep your fingers crossed that I can figure this out and learn to handle it. And stand the thought that I need them... that's the hard part.

Ok, back to why I am here. It's time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This weeks challenge should be an easy one for you. Our theme this week is set to "Digital image and sentiment". Yepp! I keep asking for the sentiments because it completes the card and I need to learn to use sentiment more myself. :)

A few weeks or a month or so back I was cleaning and sorting the kids toys and realized how many cars of different kind my boys have. I sent a suggestion to my dear boss Veronica about that and wished for an image with a racing car. And this is what they came up to. I totally love this smashing wonderful brrrmmm brrrrmmm card. Isn't he magical? The image is called My racing car and you find it over at the Paper Shelter shop.


Now, this is one of those images that has gone straight into my heart and I felt that when I started to colour this sweetie up, it would look good. And do you know what? I am soooo pleased with how it turned out. It got as vibrant as I wanted it to be. The card is a birthday card for one of Philip's friend. I do hope he like it. I was close to keep the card for myself. LoL

I have paired Mr Super sweet up with some designer papers from Maja Design which I really love. These are acutally nautical but it worked with this image too. Maybe I have to ask Vero for an image with some kind of boat image too? The summer is soon here... I punched a few stars of two sizes and used the bigger ones for backdrop to the name on the card. The smaller ones are punched in some glittery card from Papermania that I have not used before. A car charm is also added together with some twine from the Ribbon girls. If I ever dared to make a top 10 or even top 5 list of my cards during a year. This would be on it, no doubt. I am really pleased. I only wish that I had a few more racing related decorations, so that is something I will look for during the year. Because this fantastic image is going to be used over and over again. After all I have two boys that needs birthday cards for their friends. ;)

What a fabulous card and a GREAT suggestion for this type of image. I love the paper you used, regardless what pad it comes from, it is perfect. And your coloring is perfect with these papers...vibrant and wonderful colors. Great layout, too...this is really nice because you can see all the papers! Love that little charm and twine. This is an all around fabulous boy card and thank you for thinking of such an image! On a personal note, what a wonderful thing, the hearing aids. It would be a shame to miss out on the beautiful sounds of nature, your boys singing, your favorite music...so, accept that you need them and thank technology for making them. Hugs, Gail
