It's reveal day at Card Chain Challenge - my card has gone to Greta in Oregon this month. I often go with a one layer card if I'm airmailing it but somehow my brain didn't want to go that way this time!
As usual, we had lots of choice - I went with the sketch and the theme of "things with wheels".
Things
are starting to feel pretty autumnal so I thought I'd pull out an old
set and haul some giant pumpkins! The truck and pumpkins are separate
images, I cut a slit along the line of the truckbed with a scalpel and
tucked the pumpkins inside.
The green is part of a gel
print that was out on my desk, the swirly sky is inked over a stencil
and I hand drew the birds and grass tuft to fit the sketch. I did
struggle a bit to get the word die to cut right through where the truck
is stuck on to the background but got there in the end - I thought an
eclipse sentiment would suit this!
