Two Wheelin'

I dug into my Echo Park collection for this week's Scrapbook Steals challenge.  I used elements from 4 different Echo Park collections and love how they all work together.  This is from Dots & Stripes, Playground, Little Boy, and Summertime.

This didn't turn out the way I expected it to.  But I modified the original sketch as I went along.  It started out with this sketch:

I had trouble with my stitched letters.  I started with light blue cardstock letters and pierced holes all around them to do my stitching.  As I finished the first letter, I decided I didn't like the light blue paper anymore so I tried to remove it, ripping some of the background paper in the process.  So, I improvised and added some white puffy paint to cover the torn paper.  I piped the paint in around the already stitched "T" and then painted between the holes on the other two letters and stitched them after the paint dried.  Thanks for looking!
