Well it's still Sunday, Just ;)
I was asked a little while ago by the very talented Mandy of Mandys Magical World Of Art if I would like to host over at Sunday Postcard Art the theme being Transport. Of course I said yes and new exactly what I wanted to do straight off the bat.
I knew I had to use the truck image from Paper Artsy, I am a big fan of the old American pick ups and have not used this for a while.
To enter you can can use what ever style of crafting you like, it just needs to be post card sized, 4''x6''
I cut some 300gsn card to size and mounted it to some chip board to give it some sturdiness.
the truck was stamped first and colour added using the distress pens, I then cut a mask and stamped the Tim Holtz location stamp over the top in blue archival ink.
I added the fireman from De StempelWinkel and again masked him so I could add the speedo from the Paper Artsy set, I also added the spark plugs also from the same set.
a couple more Tim Holtz stamps and some distress inks for the background and then it was ready for a couple of coats of Embossing Powder.
To join in the fun head on over to Sunday Postcard Art and just enter a link to your postcard in the comments section.

Hang on... I swear I left a comment here yesterday - saying I'd be back today to catch up with some more. I have a feeling your posts haven't been showing up in my dashboard - which is partly how I've got behind (though moving house also has a part to play in that...). It's happened with another blog too... personally I think Blogger is about to have a major meltdown!
ReplyDeleteIn any case what I said, I think, was - how much I loved the colours on this, the fab urban grungy look, and great layered stamping with that amazing truck. Hope this one makes it through...
