Whimsical Wednesday Card Challenge

Welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge.

This week both card teams have come together for our challenge, to make get well cards for a very special little boy. Angelo, who is the grandson of Margie from Bella Bug Creations, is going through a very difficult time right now. He underwent brain surgery last week and will begin chemotherapy next week. You can read more about Angelo at this post over at Margie's blog http://bellabugcreations.blogspot.com/2011/06/angelo.html. We hope that you will all join us and make a card for Angelo too.

For my card I asked my boys what they would like to see on a get well card if they were to receive one and 2 out of the 3 said they would like a car or truck so that is what I went with.

The truck and and green hills were cut from my “Mickey and Friends” cartridge and the road was cut from my “Everyday Paper Dolls” cartridge. I embossed the yellow piece on the truck with my CB Diamond Plate embossing folder and doodled with my white gel pen. I kept this card very simple since it is for a little boy. :)

The sentiment was printed off of my computer and says

“Sending a truck load of Get Well Wishes.”

I hope you enjoyed my card for Angelo and can’t wait to see what you all will come up for him. To see what the other wonderful members of Whimsical Wednesday have come up with click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

  1. Hello Star, this card is just so adorable. Really like your stitching and how you built up the scene where it looks like the truck is really driving on the road. Great job. Angelo is sure to get a kick out of this.
    The sentiment is sweet too!
