I didn't want to use kraft paper for the base because I would just have to cover it up and well, what's the use of that?
I selected a nice blue scrap piece I had to make the base. I then cut strips of green and green plaid from scrap and attached them together. I embossed a "Happy Father's Day" sentiment on the upper right corner using my fav - a la mode copper embossing powder.
I then cut a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped the truck from the Stampin' Up stamp set, Countryside. I have had this stamp set for months and never found a place to use it. You all know how much I love Copic markers, but for this image, I decided to try my Prismacolor pencils. I like the results!
I colored the image with the Prismacolors and attached it to the previously attached strips. I cut the bottom of the truck image to size, then attached it to the card.
All-in-all this was fun project. I am amazed how many cards I can make from my scrap bin. I have been challenging myself to use those scraps first. I am getting overrun with them...I know you all know what I mean. :)
Abby will be posting her challenge cards next....I can't wait to see what she has in store for us!
