Enjoy the Journey

Where does the time go?! I just realized our oldest son's birthday has crept up so I pulled out this awesome Vintage Cars set from Tim Holtz once again.

Every once in a while I pop into Big Lots to see what bargains they might have scored. Sometimes I come up empty handed but yesterday I scored this luscious 12 x 12 metallic cardstock from DCWV in a pack of assorted colors @ 20 sheets for $5.00. What caught me first was this gorgeous copper color. I opened the package to feel it and the weight is just right for use as a card base or layering. The beautiful linen texture is a bonus!

I used SC150 as my starting point. Roxie has posted all the Sketch Challenges with a sample card here ready to print and keep as a reference. This is an awesome resource!!

Overall card size is 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" . Image is stamped in Encore Copper then heat embossed with copper EP on Cream CS. The streaks under the truck were added with Prismacolor marker in Light Tan for depth.

Blogger seems to be working better now. Not sure what was wrong yesterday unless I just had too many photos in one post.

Thanks for stopping by!
