Lightening McQueen birthday invites

My little boy Jonah is rather in love with the film Cars at the moment so what better choice for a birthday party theme when he turns 3 at the end of August and of course the invites have to match :)

Ellen Kemper of Blinkin thinkin inkin is a punch art goddess! This card is adapted from her lightening McQueen and took a little bit of head scratching to work it out (thanks to my Su mummy and friend Claire... took us a while!) Mainly we think because we don't have the extra wide oval the Americans do... but think these are passable... certainly Jonah recognised them so good enough for me! If anyone wants the recipe then leave me a comment.

The background was made using the square punch so quick work! And the initial from broadsheet letters. I printed stickers with all the important info to go on the back and et voila done!

Hope you liked it!
