Driving Test Card

This card measures 5ins x 5ins and is made with a handcut white linen effect card blank

I gave a card the same as this to my niece to “celebrate” her first driving lesson on her 17th birthday.
The L plates are table confetti found in a lot of card shops and the foam car was part of a mahoosive pack of assorted sized cars and signs from a 99p Shop in Wolverhampton.

Congratulations - Driving Test Card

This card measures 5ins x 5ins and is made with a hand cut white linen effect card blank

The background paper is taken from a road atlas given free in one of the Sunday papers which I have cut up and then mat and layered on silver card. The L plates are table confetti  and the foam car and sign were from a mahoosive pack of assorted sized cars and signs from a local 99p Shop.

What’s On My Desk Wednesday

I am trying to economise as I seem to have had made a few expensive purchases this month …. so to get a shopping “fix” I  have been over to the local papershop, where the gentleman takes off the free gifts from the unsold comics and sells them for 30p each, there are some real treasures if you rummage around enough!

I got this tool kit to embellish some of my sweetie filled toolboxes – five men's embellishments for 30p? Brilliant!

And this 30p bargain was even better than I anticipated when I opened the box.  I thought the pieces would be flat and the cars printed on them, but I found that there were little foam cars stuck on the strips of road ….

 
So, I made a tiny gift box for learner driver who has just passed their driving test …… I’ll put a few car shaped sweeties inside the box to follow the theme through.

The L plates are table confetti.

I know it’s daft but its cute as well!

I have a couple more ideas for these “dominoes”,  I just need the time!
