Stamping 411 #195

This is for stamping 411 sketch challenge 195. I used ivory card base, I used CB circles IP on the kraft cardstock because it reminds me of wheels. The DPs are Rustic Stack and Shimmer Stack. I punched out 2 circles and used a birthday stamp--looks like a wheel, huh? Then the cute little car stamp from Inkadindadoo. Black strips to look like a road and then all tied up with twine. The faux buttons are Martha Stewart punch--again look like wheels! I used this instead of real buttons because they make less weight and bulk on a card. I am making cards for Operation Write Home a group that sends handcrafted cards to troops overseas for them to send to their loved ones. If you have a big stock of cards made up, check out their site. It is a great cause.
