Happy Birthday Kyle!

My niece, Danielle,  is coming to visit with her new husband, Kyle!  We have never meant Kyle and his birthday was recently so at the party that we are having for the two of them we are going to give Kyle a birthday cake with cards. The first thing I thought of was their wedding.  Danielle's mother is my sister and most of our side of the family could not attend because the wedding was in Georgia and my dad was ill at the time.  But we saw many pictures and the one that stood out most was Danielle on the back of Kyle's John Deere  tractor after the ceremony going to the reception.  This photo is a hoot!  Sometime ago, I saw a punch art tractor and this is what I came up with for Kyle's card.  It was actually on Isaiah 40:31 blog and she was inspired by Jackie Topa.  Her blog address is http://jackietopa.typepad.com/addicted_to_stamping/2009/08/punch-art-tractor.html

The seat is a heart punch but I bet you could use 2 small oval punches. The steering wheel are 2 SU small  slit punches. Engine of the tractor is a large tag punch from SU.  The wheels are nesties scallop and circle.  I just typed "John Deere" on the computer really, really tiny and put it on the tractor because my handwriting would just mess up the card.   The smoke stack is SU word window punch and the smoke is just a small sizzix flower that I had.  Enjoy!
