I'm this weeks GUEST at Always Playing with Paper

 

I recently won the colour challenge over at

Always Playing with Paper

and was asked to be their Guest for this week challenge.

Of course I was so excited I said YES!

 

 

Don't you just love this Inspiration Photo?

Now a lot of us tend to steer away from male cards

but after seeing this photo -which just screamed

Rusty Old Car! I got out some supplies I thought

I would use but landed up with something totally

different and I must say

how pleased I was with how it finished.

 

 

I started my card with black card stock.

The DP I used here is from

Farm House Paper Co. - Fair Skies

This was used on the first background

and behind the tag.

I have backed that with black cs embossed

with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

I distressed the edges on both the dp and the tag.

The truck is from Gina K Designs Country Roads.

The sentiment is also from GKD

which I purposely chose because when you travel

there are little moments

 that make that trip a big lifetime memory.

Sentiments on the tag are from Stamp It.

The other stamps are from

Prima Marketing and Kaisercraft.

The truck was coloured with a variety of pencils

from Faber Castell and blended.

Inks used were Memento Tuxedo Black

Stormy Sky/Potters Clay

and Tim Holtz Peacock Feather.

Foam Squares for depth

Finishing it off with a couple of brads

and some Jute String.

 

Thanks for dropping in today

and be sure to pop over to the

Talented Designers  Here

to see what Inspired them

for their Masculine cards.

 

Hope you get time to play with us this week.
