Direct to Paper TRUCK

To make the background around the truck, I used the direct to paper technique. Began with whisper white cardstock, applied stampin' spots directly to the paper: so saffron, apricot appeal, tempting turquoise, brocade blue. Then stamped truck image in black and colored with copics; cut with labels framelit.

Happy Thoughts of You

This is my first attempt at the baby wipe technique. I took 4 reinkers and dropped a few of each color in a row on a baby wipe and wiped it directly on Whisper White cardstock. As I continued down, some of the colors overlapped. Then I stamped the flower directly over the top. Card is matted in early espresso.
