Avery Elle: Happy Birthday Bus Card

Welcome back! Yesterday was a good mail day 😊 since I received my newly purchased Avery Elle Birthday Bus stamp and die set. I think it was just released last month (mid-May). When I saw this online, I thought, "Wow! Surely, a carpool with friends would be more enjoyable than being dropped off by your parents.. unless, if the driver was your parent!"

The image was stamped on a cold press watercolor paper using Versafine Ink in Onyx Black and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolor pen. A few touches of Zig Wink of Stella added sparkle on party hats, banner, and gifts. For the backdrop, Neenah heavyweight cardstock cut to A2 size and daubed with Ranger Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn (bottom/ground) and Broken China (top/sky). I then used adhesive foam squares to raise the bus and gifts.

To separate the horizon from foreground, I drew stitches using a straight edge and Fine Point Black Sharpie. Lawn Cuts Stitched Border run along the line gave a subtle texture and separation between each section. Lastly, the sentiment was heat embossed in black and the entire card was lightly rubbed with Ranger Distress Glaze for protection.

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges:
1. CAS(E) this Sketch! Challenge #225 (entry #55)
