Congratulations On Passing Your Driving Test Card

Hello. I really enjoyed making this month's cards and the Alphabet Word Chain stamps are one of the reasons for that. Deciding which letters you're going to use and combining them together is such fun. I made a couple of cards focusing on them and this is the first.

The front of the card is simply a torn up L plate...........

.............and when you open it up, it reveals the text.

My first idea was to cut it out on my Cameo but I then decided that layered up card might not rip that well. Instead I printed it out on card instead, using the Cameo's Silhouette Studio to draw it. 

I then ripped it in half, as if I'd just passed my test, and stuck it to the front of a gatefold card.

"Congratulations" and "Your" are Word Chain words which I combined with words I created using the alphabet.  I stamped them out on copy paper first. This gave me the chance to work out the combination of upper and lower case letters I wanted to use and see if I wanted to change anything (you can see I did). 

I cut them out, so that I could check how to position them, and then stamped them onto the card. 

A couple more ripped up L plates add a bit of colour inside.

Do you remember passing your test? 

It got me thinking about mine and I just found this photo of me after I passed, first time, nearly 30 years ago. Such a great day. I wonder if my Fiesta is still on the road? Probably not. I did love that car...........happy times.
