The new color duo over at the Color Hues challenge blog
has a very old fashioned Christmas vibe to it.
I briefly thought about making something other than a holiday card but why buck the trend, right?
To create my card I first stamped the truck and tree onto some vintage-y patterned paper which I then fussy cut. Patterned paper was also used to create the snowbank and border. I used a snowfall stencil along with some glimmer paste to create the background onto a kraft panel. I should have stamped the sentiment first but I wasn't thinking. Fortunately the pigment ink covered the glittery snowfall with no problems. I then assembled my card onto a kraft card base and added some Stickles to the ornaments as a finishing touch.
I always enjoy playing with the Color Hues crew. If you haven't played along, I encourage you to check them out.
Supplies:
Stampendous - Truck Stamp CLD01
MFT - Snowfall stencil
Stickles
Tonic - Moonstone glimmer paste

Red and kraft are a perfect pairing for Christmas cards like this one! I love the little truck carrying the tree, and all those great layers of dsp and stenciling make for one fun card!
ReplyDeleteI agree, why buck the trend... and we need Christmas cards! That is the perfect patterned paper to give your truck a well-used look. Great use of the other patterned papers, too!
ReplyDeleteThat patterned paper worked wonderfully to add just the right texture to your vintage truck! You've combined some great patterns and dimension to create a very fun card! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think Christmas, I think snow covered hills, a pickup truck with a Christmas tree in the back! You nailed it and the raised snow was a super idea too! Awesome card, Jules!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a great idea to make a Christmas card because your truck is so awesome and I love the sentiment! I would love a Hallmark red truck to put in my drive for the holidays! Lovely and thank you for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
