Dump truck birthday - Tuesday Morning Sketches #156

I like Tuesdays!!  Because that means it is time for a Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge!!  Head over there to check out the rest of the DT's creations, then get your paper, scissors, and glue and play along with us!!  :)

This week we are sponsored by Doodle Pantry!  I got some of my first ever digis from them, and they have awesome images and digi papers!!! 

My little guy is getting past the age of enjoying dump trucks in the dirt, but this is such a cute image and there are always little boys who will need a birthday card, so I followed this great sketch by Melissa...
...and came up with this card...
~digi paper, colored image, and sentiment from Toy Truck Ants
~'Diamonds in the rough' embossing folder
~Chevron cut on my Cricut
~Tim Holtz Walnut Stain distress ink
~twine and button from stash

Thanks for stopping by!!! Please join us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!

The perfect boy card, age regardless. I can name a 40-something who harbours a secret desire to drive a dump truck! The embossed panel, chevrons... they all tire in perfectly.
