I made this card for my nephew's birthday party yesterday. I love this stamp set, and had to find it on the bay as it is retired. So glad I nabbed it! My son is a die hard trucks and cars fan, so this was perfecto!
Supplies are all SU unless otherwise noted.
Stamps: little builder (CTMH)
Paper: summer sun, old olive, chocolate chip, designer paper (can't remember which one off hand), whisper white
Ink: chocolate chip, summer sun, rose red, old olive
Accessories: tire tracks twill ribbon (unknown), olive brads
I find that with clear stamps I can't use my markers or the ink just beads on it. So I carefully stamped the tractor part in sun ink and the tire doodads with chocolate. I matted on olive and distressed. Then I added the ribbon to the chocolate layer and matted the image on that. I added the pylon stamped in rose. THe patterned paper was sponged with olive and distressed. Then the card base was distressed in summer sun and then I added the matted images. The sentiment was stamped with chocolate and then the brads were added. I thought it turned out perfect for a boy of 3!
