All occasion cards featuring buses and layered decorative papers

These are for my sister.  She owns a small fleet of school buses and wanted cards that reflected her business so I printed up this school bus (Colouring page) on white cardstock.  I trimmed them out of the letter sized sheet and went looking for paper.  

For the first card I created a black card and added a yellow layer of paper.  I trimmed the fun scribble paper with words on it to be just a bit smaller leaving a small margin all the way around before adhering it on my card.  I trimmed a strip of red cardstock and layered on a strip of gray dotted paper which was my next layer.  I trimmed out a green layer for my bus image (Colouring Page), border punched the bottom, embossed a line above it with my score tool and then adhered my image.  The image was watercoloured and then I ran my pattern tracing wheel on all four edges then adhered it to my green layer.  This large element was adhered to my card using 32D foam tape.   


For my second card I created a white card and adhered my background to it.  I stamped a strip of coordinating green cardstock with little bubbles and adhered it to my card.  I trimmed my image and layered it onto a navy piece of cardstock after chalking the image.  I punched the bottom edge with my scallop punch (SU) and used a 1/16th inch punch to add a hole to each scallop.  There was just enough room to add a strip of orange over the scallops.  I mounted my large image layer to my card front over the green strip using 3D foam tape.
