I can't beleive that it has been so long since I last posted here. I know that I've been enjoying the summer weather that we in Calgary have been very lucky to have this year. We really did miss summer completely last year and I don't remember the year before being that great either! But compared to all the horrendous weather events happening everywhere else we really are blessed here.
The card I'm sharing with you today is one that I made for a friend's Birthday in August. He really is a one of a kind great guy and he has this truck that he lovingly maintains so that it will pull their trailer. He and his wife enjoy trailering for their summer vacations and long weekend get aways.
I once again borrowed the stamp from M-J's collection. The background is stamped with one of the 'mustardy' tones of Tim Holtz distress inks (probably spiced marmalade). I really do need to make notes or post my cards while details are still fresh in my mind. I then used clear embossing powder over it. The centre image is done with my old stand-by black onyx Versafine with the same technique of the clear embossing powder. It has been die cut with a Spellbinder and then I 'ticket cut' the edges.
This was a fun card to make and it got me using heat embossing which is a technique many are using these days. I really need to be pushed to branch out of my usual comfort zone.
Thanks for dropping by,
Sandy
