Ice Cream Truck Birthday Card

I've been wanting to make a card for the monthly progressive challenge over at Deedee's Digis this month. I love progressive challenges where entering one month earns a free digi stamp or free digi stamp set for the next month! What fun! I decided to combine one of the the "Ice Cream Truck" images from this month's challenge set at Deedee's with this month's sketch over at Cheerful Sketches Challenge Blog. The sketch looked interesting, and I had some fun birthday paper I thought would work well with it. So I bought the "Ice Cream Truck" set, downloaded the images into my Silhouette Design Studio software and then played with sizing. I thought about using the outline and coloring the digi myself, but the colored version matched the colors in my birthday paper already, so why make more work for myself, right? The rest came together quickly and easily. I cut strips of the 12 X 12 birthday paper into the sizes I wanted for my 5 X 7 inch card and snipped out the sentiment from the same paper. I glue taped the first layer down (the vertical strip on the left), used thin foam squares on the horizontal strip, used thicker foam squares on the top of the image piece with thinner ones on the bottom so that it adhered evenly on the popped up strip and the flat card part behind it and finally popped a couple of thin foam squares on the bottom left hand corner of the "Celebrate" sentiment.

This angle shows a bit of the layering to give an idea of the depth.
