A couple of weeks ago, my eldest granddaughter took and passed her driving test, and now she's a fully licensed driver! I had already decided that I had to do a card for her, that being a huge milestone in the life of any teen. I had already decided to use this image I won at From the Heart Stamps but before I got the card finished, an incident occurred which also needed to be memorialized.
The story goes like this: on the second day after getting her license, her mom asked her to run to the grocery store and pick up a couple of items needed for dinner. The store is two blocks away from home. She did as asked and was on her way back home when she saw red lights flashing behind her! She pulled over and was scared to death, totally unable to figure out what she could possibly have done to merit being stopped by the police. Keep in mind, she's driving her mom's car, not yet having one of her own.
The officer asked to see her license and registration, then advised her that she had a tail light which was out. When she told him that she'd only had her license for two days and that it was her mom's car, he told her to make sure it got fixed but was nice enough not to write her a ticket.
Here's how I changed the planned card design following that incident. :-D
Colored with my ProMarkers and the police officer is clip art I found online, fussy cut and mounted on dimensional dots. I used a stitched die to cut the image and inlaid it into black CS, also cut with that same stitched die although the stitching doesn't show on the black. The checkered flag is another image from the race car set, printed, fussy cut, and added on a dimensional dot. Sentiment was computer printed.
