Scooting by to say Hi - Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge

Hi friends ~

I put this little card together on Sunday evening after a day in the garden. It was the perfect way to wind down and relax after working so hard on a hot afternoon.

I love the cute quirky images that Kim designs over at Paper Smooches. This week there is a gorgeous inspiration pic and I took some of the colours and put them into this brighter than usual (for me) card, made especially for a friend who deserves a little happy mail this week.


I coloured the scooter with copics and paper pieced parts of it and popped them up for dimension. Don't you love those little 'puffs' at the exhaust? So sweet.

Thanks for popping by. I really love having you visit!
