Today I have something quite different from my usual cards. A couple of years ago my husband ran across this display in a grocery store right after Christmas. It had blue cars & green trucks. He got me 4 of each. I'll get to the cars another time, but the trucks looked like this:
Knowing that I'm often interested in craft projects, he checked with me and then picked up several. Frankly, they were pretty ugly - which you can see if you look closely. They had a very distressed look (a look I don't much care for), and a very poor paint job on top of that. And the green color was NOT what I would have chosen!
So, I repainted them all using acrylic/enamel paints - each one a different, more realistic color. I added a glimmery paint to the snowmen & poinsettias & glitter paint to the tree. It was a TON of work, but I like them much better now and think they'll make good gifts.
