Beep Beep Birthday Boy!

Hi Everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for my nephew's 4th birthday.





The card base is a stair-step fold. I cut it out of plain white cardstock, and then covered it with DCWV patterned paper.

The car, train, and truck are hand cut from a coordinating patterned paper.

The "4" is cut using Don Juan cartridge.

The cute little boy is "Beep Beep Jude" from Simply Betty Stamps. I colored him using Prismacolor pencils and odorless minerals spirits. My nephew has a Police Car Cozy Coupe that he rides around the house so I tried to make this look like him. Isn't he cute?!

I used an Action Wobble to mount him to the card (that's why the one pic is blury). Have you seen these? I can't believe that I've had them for a while and this is the first time I'm using them!

"Beep Beep" is from the Pink By Design "Ticket to Ride" sentiment set and "Celebrate" is from the "Big Thoughts" set.

I am entering this card in the Woble Wednesday Challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by!
