Welcome
This card was made for a young boy, and actually started with the scrap of corrugated card that I printed off when gel printing one day, and there was also some white acrylic paint on it too

I then coloured the sky blue and the foreground brown, and added some green over the print, which acted as a resist.

The images are a very old set that I stamped and embossed, then coloured them with watercolour paints. I used a gel pen for the silver elements, and put glossy accents on all the 'glass' ie, windows and headlights, fussy cut them and adhered them to the card front.

What I did not capture well with the camera was all the sparkle I added to the background
I also copper embossed the sentiment and the edges of the focal panel, before placing it onto a Cranberry base

I finished the inside with some copper dotted washi tape and another image from the stamp set.

Hi Maxine, a fabulous card for any little one who loves trucks of all sorts, when the road behind the preschool I worded at was being tarred and guttered all of the boys brought the dump trucks etc. down from the sandpit... Thank you for joining us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, good luck in the prize draw... Megan DT LPoCF
ReplyDeleteIt's the end result that counts not the age of the stamps. I need to sort my stamps out as I tend to use the same ones these days and have forgotten half of what ~I have = well, over half I think!
ReplyDeleteAnyway the card is super and I am sure it will be loved - the little truck in the bottom right hand corner caught my eye. Hias headlights make him look to have a sad face and that makes him rather cute to me.
A super idera = a super card.
Blessings, Neet xx
Wonderful... what could be nicer for little boys than excavators, large construction vehicles and fire engines with turntable ladder...
ReplyDeletefantastically done...yes.
Many greetings to you from Viola
