Happy Birthday to my Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad!!! I hope you're enjoying your birthday today!

Here's is a card that I made for my Dad's birthday. He loves eveything VW. Growing up we had a 1971 two-toned (orange and white) VW bus. I have lots of memories of vacations and camping in our bus! He also had a Baja Bug and a Converter. We loved them so much that all of us kids' first cars were VW bugs!!!

I couldn't decide what kind of card to make for my Dad. While flipping through the Disney Cars booklet, I came accross Fillmore, the VW Bus!


Details:
The base card is 5 x 7 inches.
Disney Cars cartridge - Fillmore cut at 4 inches
Cardstock - Michael's and scraps
Glossy accents on the windows and head lights to look like glass
Black opaque Enamel Accents on the tires
Party and Peace sign are buttons
There are a lot more cut-out details on the side of the bus, but the picture in the booklet is som small that it was hard for me to tell what went where! I think that a lot of the Disney cut-outs are meant to be cut at 5 inches or larger due to the detail of the intricut cuts.

Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
