Christmas is just a little less than two weeks away, and who doesn't "need a little pick-up" at this time? As I was rummaging through some of my stamps, I found this pick-up truck from Deadbeat Designs, and thought wouldn't that make a great card during all this Christmas frenzy.
I want to mention first of all, that this card is not finished! It is still a work in progress. I started out by making a trifold card from a sheet of heavy printed scrapbook paper. I stamped out the truck on white card stock, colored it with my copic markers and glitter pen, then fussy cut it out to adhere it to the front of the card, right on the edge. You can see the edge going down through the windshield. I left a little tab at the bottom for the phrase, also from Deadbeat Designs.
When you open the front flap of the card, you see the second page, where I have placed a Hero Arts house, stamped on watercolor paper with StazOn ink and colored with my Inktense watercolor pencils. I then cut it out, and glued it to the far left of the card so it wouldn't show from the front. I also punched a cute little butterfly to put in the "sky" area.
Then as you open the last flap of the card, I added an area where I can stamp a sentiment, or hand write a personal message. Below this area, I added a flower and leaf cluster that I had in my copic coloring "goody box". One of those items I was practicing coloring on, and when finished just stuck it in the envelope and never wrote down the stamp name or who it was from. I need to add a little more detail to the front and second page of the card, maybe some trees or mountains, or maybe a cactus or two since I am in Texas. If you have any suggestions, comment on this post and let me know what you think it needs. I sit down and piddle with it while I am watching TV in the evenings, between Christmas chores and decorating.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and that you enjoy all of the happenings of the season. See you again, soon.
