Today I'm sharing a custom designed card for one of my customer's Dad's birthday.
The request was for a red truck in the mountains. I knew immediately that I wanted to use Angie Blom's Dream Big Mountains for the background. I've used this on several previous cards and loved the results.
Next I scanned through all of my Angie Blom's digital files and came across the perfect truck in the Winter Wonderland set. Another great thing about working with digital images ~ if you are familiar with this image, there is a snow covered tree in the back of the truck. For my design, I just blocked that part out and layered the truck into the mountain scene.
I colored the image with my Copic markers, which are referenced below. After deciding on the matting paper, I used the Tattered Lace Hemstitch Square. This is the first time I've used this die and I LOVE the edge and stitch it makes!
I mounted the colored image and plaid matting on a brown 6" card base. To balance the red across the design, I added the red string with a tiny clock at the knot.
One more tiny step .... I used glossy accents on the windshield and window to complete my card design.
Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.

A great card for a man and you would never know there had been a tree in the back of the truck.
