Tasty Trucks

Today I have been using the Tasty Trucks stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration brochure which went live on the 4th January 2017. Sale-A-Bration is Stampin’ Up! annual event where for every £45 order you get to choose 1 item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure for free…..whoop whoop. There are lots of gorgeous things to choose from including stamp sets, ribbon, designer series paper packs (dsp), a card project kit and a gorgeous gold and white striped card storage tin which I have my eye on. Sale-A-Bration runs from the 4th January until the 31st March 2017 so there is plenty of time to get an order in.If you would like a Sale-A-Bration brochure or Spring/Summer catalogue let me know. If you would like to place an order click on the Shop Online button and it will take you to my online store.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stampin’ Up! – Tasty Trucks stamp setI stamped the really cute little truck from the Tasty Truck stamp set using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I planned to use the new Stampin’ Up! Water Color Pencils to colour in the truck and find that the Momento ink stands up well to the Blender Pen. I used the Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight pencils to colour the main body of the truck. The wheels were coloured using the Basic Black pencil and the Basic Grey pencil for the hub caps. I coloured the lights using the Pumpkin Pie pencil and the stripes in the awning are coloured using the Real Red pencil. The ground was added with the Early Espresso pencil.

I love the versatility of these watercolour pencils. The harder you press the dark the finished effect will be. This means that you can get many tones of colour using each pencil. I used the Blender pen on this occasion as the image is quite small and I wanted more control than I would get using an Aquapainter or brush.

I rounded the upper right corner with the Project Life Corner Rounder and mounted the coloured piece onto a panel of Bermuda Bay cardstock with a similarly rounded top right corner. I then took a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot using the new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder from Stampin’ Up! which is available in the in the new Spring/Summer catalogue.

I used a card base of Thick Whisper White cardstock adding some So Saffron stars using the Hearts and Stars decorative masks and a Sponge Dauber to provide some interest. The embossed strip of Bermuda Bay was added to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and the stamped panel added using Dimensionals.

I have a feeling that this little truck is going to prove very popular over the next few months. Thank you for visiting my blog today. Hope to see you again soon.
