All occasion cards with school buses and decorative paper

Another couple of cards for my sister's stash!!  I started with a half sheet black card.  I created a background by combining a piece of decortive paper to an embossed piece of green white core cardstock which I sanded a bit to highlight the texture.  I added two strips of decorative paper - an orange one over a yellow one and flagged one end.  I adhered this strip over my background.  The bus (Colouring Page) was watercoloured, layered with green cardstock and then mounted to my card usign 3D foam tape.  

My second card started with a half sheet card in blue.  I added a background full of fun strips with dotted center lines.  I added an embossed orange strip which a fish tailed on one end.  The bus (Colouring Page) was coloured with colour pencils and highlighted with a glitter pen on the windows and the chrome.  I trimmed a green layer which I border punched on the bottom with this dotty chevron pattern.  I added an embossed line with my score tool.  The image was distressed on its edges, paper piercing was added on all four sides with my pattern tracing wheel.  It was adhered to the green layer and this focal element was added to my card using 3D foam tape.
