Car Wall Art

My son's room is all about TRANSPORTATION!! He loves anything that GOES. I found these cute paintings at TARGET, but could not afford their pricey-ness (they wanted 25 buckaroos for ONE... ya RIGHT), so I just made some myself. All in all I spent around $25 on both and have plans for more which won't cost me a thing because I have leftover material!!!
I have NEVER attempted to paint something so this was a bit of a learning experience. I used spunge brushes for most of it and the cars are stencils. Next time I will use some paint brushes and I am sure I will get a more precise look.
Soon I will take a picture of my sons FINISHED room so you can all see it and admire my craftiness.

Linking up to a couple of parties today!!!
