Scooting By

Here's my card for today's SCS clean and simple challenge. This week's challenge was to include a banner element and the latest CPS sketch was a perfect match with its banner sentiment strip.
I used the Paper Smooches Spiffy Scooters set for my card. For a somewhat masculine look, I colored the scooter in shades of olive green. The headlights are covered with some Glossy Accents for a glass-like shine. I cut out the scooter and used foam tape to put it the roadway background I made for it using a dot embossed blue cardstock "sky" panel and a strip of gray "road."

The "scooting by" sentiment is stamped on a matching light blue banner die cut. I used foam tape to attach it over the bottom of the image panel and to the kraft cardfront. I debated about using patterned paper on the cardfront, buut I decided that sticking with plain kraft cardstock kept with the clean and simple design I was after. I added a trio of coppery metal stud embellishments along the left side of the image panel. I wanted something round, but couldn't find anything else small enough in my stash. I need to find some nail-head embellishments or something like that . . .
