Wedding Card

I was recently asked to design a wedding card for a friend. She wanted a unique card for her nephew and his future wife who are both semi truck drivers. I found this truck image on free colouring pages and printed it off twice.

I used crystal effects on the windshield and headlights, made Ontario license plates, and popped up the grill. She wanted a humourous sentiment so I found this one which I first saw in a Maxine cartoon and added a pocket so she could put money in the card. 

and finally the back of the card. A stamping buddy told me how to make the tin cans, so easy! I made the back of the truck in paint.net since I couldn't find a really good colouring page for the back. 

I'm entering this into:
Catch The Bug Challenge: anything goes
One Stop Craft Challenge: anything goes
Sweet Stampin Challenge: Love is all around
Card Makin' Mamas: I'm in the mood for love
Stampin with the Dragon: love is in the air

Stamps: free colouring pages, Impression Obsession heart swirls
Paper: basic black, cherry cobbler, whisper white
Ink: stampin up illuminate (versa mark)
Other: embossing powder, crystal effects, ribbon, tin foil
