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.
SUPPLIES
- stamps - countryside, itty bitty banners
- cardstock - so saffron, soft suede, whisper white
- ink - black, tempting turquoise, marina mist, brocade blue, so saffron, apricot appeal
- accessories - labels framelits, bitty banners framelits, apothecary accents framelits, square lattice EF, lacy brocade EF, fancy fan EF, woodgrain designer buttons, linen thread
Masking, sponging and brayering using COUNTRYSIDE and LOVELY AS A TREE sets.
stamped truck and colored with copic markers. Masked off sun, brayered in bashful blue then brayered top right corner with marina mist over the bashful blue. Masked the truck and stamped trees; sponged in basic gray and basic black for the ground.Sun was sponged with very vanilla and then with pearl x powders.
Thanks for looking (:
The idea of this card was a love you or valentine MANCARD. This truck is from the countryside stamp set. The background paper is cajun craze, baja breeze, soft suede, black and floral districut DSP. The truck was stamped in stazon brown on watercolor paper, then colored with markers and blender pen. I stamped LOVE on baja breeze and added to tailgate of truck. I had to piece together the "all i want is you" phrase and "love" from different stamp sets. After I cut the truck image with the labels framelits, I also used the labels framelits on soft suede, then trimmed off the bottom portion and adhered to the truck image. Then added a small strip of black.
