This is my creation for the blog hop. Don't you just love this Classic Truck image. My son who is 17 years old has been restoring a 1964 Ford Truck for over a year. He just recently sold it. This image reminds me so much of that truck. I showed him this card and he loved it...lol He just bought a 1986 Ford Mustang and is now fiddling with that!!!
I used the rust colored image of the truck for this card. My paper is the DCWV stack called Natural. It was perfect for this card. I used the Martha Stewart loopy PATP. The image was first cut with a spellbinders scallop die cut and popped on the rust colored larger scallop. I then cut another image of the truck and popped it for more dimension. I had some old wooden buttons in my stash from when I used to sew and I sponged some Ranger Tea Die Ink on them and Diamond stickled them. I tied the bows with cream colored crochet thread. Crystal Effects was used on all images of the truck.
This is a picture of the inside of my card. I shrunk one of the trucks down for the lower part of this card and I also put one on back of the envelope. This envelope was made from a kit available at the Priscillastyles store here. I cannot make a card now without making the complimentary envelope. With Father's Day coming in June, I hope this will inspire you to create with this fabulous Digi. I just love it and I know you will too!!!
