Good morning, Its my favorite day of the week... Friday and that means its time for another challenge on 

Alphabet Challenge Blog 

this week the letter is 

.

"V"

For Vehicles

We had a fantastic response to our DT call.  The Successful applicants will be announced on the challenge blog next Friday 8th April.  Good luck to everyone that entered.

I thought I was going to struggle with this challenge as I don't own anything relating to vehicles, thank heavens for digi's.  A very big THANK YOU to Helen from Ellephantastic for coming up with a gorgeous image at such short notice.  Please go and take a look at the online store for more brilliant images.  

.  (Click on the above link to visit the Ellephantastic store).  

I've had another go at shading the background, I must admit that it does make the images pop off the page.  I have used a glitter gel pen to add the shine to the metal parts of the car. I can just imagine this cute little bear driving along a country road with his picnic hamper in the back ready for a Teddy Bears picnic..LOL

Here's my card for the challenge

I loved making this card, this Magnolia stamp is very special to me as it was the first ever Mag stamp I brought.  I still don't get tired of using it!

Again, I used that amazing stuff called crackle paint.  Its fab to work with and looks even more fabby if you used distress inks over the top.
