A Child's Smile

I needed a boyish card.






I used Sizzix's Dress Ups Overalls die to punch out the trucks and outfit.

 


The second layer was created by stamping Papertrey Ink's Grunge Me circles.



I love the sweet sentiment by Stampendous...how true is that???


Trying to keep the card boyish, I tucked the grosgrain ribbon instead of tying a bow.


Using a Uniball white pen, I added little details.


The lovely sketch was provided by CardPatterns Sketch 127.



I am also entering this square card in Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 67
anything but a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2 " card.


Thanks for peeking in today. ;)

    Marlena, the papers you chose for the die cuts of overalls and truck are great - I thought you had used fabric or felt! What a cute boy card. :) Thanks for playing with Speedy's Friends this week!
