a card that took WAY TOO long!!

Hello everyone!! Happy Saturday!! The weather here is gorgeous today...I have been stamping with my windows open enjoying the breeze and listening to the sounds of Saturday with the kids home! Since Monday I have wanted to try the challenge on Splitcoast to use layers...I wanted to use my little truck...so today I thought I would sit down and tackle it and boy did it take forever!! I mean FOREVER!!! Whoever gets this card, if I decide to part with it, is going to here about the blood, sweat & tears it took to finish! {not really any of those things...just adding it for effect} Ok...enough drama...on to card deets! I stamped the truck in choc. chip a few times and cut out different pieces and popped them up on the truck. I colored it in with a creamy caramel marker and then went over some spots with close to cocoa and a blender pen. I cut out the window and used acetate behind it to give it that "window" effect. I stamped the lady and hearts and then set the truck up on dimensionals. I used my crop-a-dile and used jumbo eyelets for the tires...a cute little idea I got from Mary Jo Albright! The layout is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. The pics aren't great...my camera isn't cooperating!...I refuse to believe it's because of operator error! Have a great rest of your day...I have to go rest my hands from all the work they just did!!
**Blog Candy time...pictures are below. I will draw a name on Tuesday at noonish. Only one comment per person. Only USA & Canadian residents...sorry my oversea friends! Thanks!!**
