I don't know about you but things around here are definitely feeling hot, hot, hot so I decided to go tropical with the truck!
Daring Cardmakers this week asked us to include five of something on our projects. I decided to steer clear of the five flowers and go for something a little more masculine so I've anchored this design with five extra large eyelets. I decided after doing it that they looked kind of like the truck wheels - including the spare! lol!
This is my first Lots to Do challenge entry too - the theme this week is travel and I think truckin' into a tropical sunset should count for that.
I love the graphic lines of this stamp - it looks like a technical or concept drawing and looks great if you just stamp it and don't add any colour or shading at all but here I've given my truck a silver-grey look with a few shades of cool grey Copic marker. The truck was masked while inks were sponged in through an oval negative mask and the horizon lines were stamped.
Stamps:
Keep Truckin' (General Motors line at Cornish Heritage Farms - releasing Tuesday 2nd June)
Paper:
Smooth white
Ink:
Brilliance Graphite Black
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Sunshine Yellow, Sunset Orange, Red Pepper)
Other:
Extra large eyelets (We R Memory Keepers, pewter)
Copic markers
Nestabilities by Spellbinder (classic oval)
Thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoyed a little on-screen sunshine!

WOW ... this is super fantastic!! Love your sunset scene and the large eyelets are PERFECT with this truck image! Awesome work as usual!!
This looks great and so good to see a masculine card that isn't blue or green.

Fab card Joanne - love the way the sunset colours work with the shades of grey of the rest of the card. Those 5 giant eyelets really work brilliantly too
very nice. Love the washers on the bottom and that colorful center section is really wonderful

Great job on the sunset - love the white bkgd and eyelets!
Stunning sunset Joanne, very carefully blended too. A totally different card to look at. The metal eyelets work well with this kind of design too. Top trumps Joanne. XX
