Well, I'm sure whatever you come up with, it'll be brilliant! Long story, but last year when on holiday, my hubby got overtaken by a hearse (I kid you not) and he's never lived it down, so this year for his 50th Emily is making him a model hearse out of old bits and pieces. The bodywork is a margerine carton, which she is going to cover over with paper and PVA glue and eventually paint! It amazes me where she gets her ideas from and is always very inventive! Perhaps you could do something similar and make a 3D card in the shape of a bus with a pic of your hubby in the front windscreen? Just a thought! Maria x |
