Hit the Road for Father's Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Happy Father's Day to all of you father's out there.  
I made this card special for my dad today.  Since I don't have a stamp with a sailboat I went with what I had...antiques.  I'm pretty sure my dad's favorite color is green (at least that's what he has on his Valiant sailboat!).  I did look up green gas pumps and trucks like this just to be on the safe side and they do exist! :D


I colored in the truck and gas pump with Color Burst Pencils from Fun Stampers Journey.  I did a little erasing here and there to try and get the shine and glare from the sun.  I also used a little gray to add some shadows in.  


Whip Cream
Kiwi Slice
Black Licorice

(I really didn't use kiwi slice, but I wanted green on here!  I used pencil #22) 


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hit the Road Birthday Card and Video ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Hey Everyone...I have a couple of fun masculine cards to show you today.  
My nephews have their birthdays a few weeks apart, so they have a birthday party sometime in between.  I usually make them the same card, but sometimes change the colors up a bit.  That's what I did on their cards this time around.  The first card I made was the Candy Apple truck and the second one is Huckleberry Fusion truck.  
I thought I would love the red and think the blue was just ok.  I honestly don't know which one I like better!  Both are fun and pretty quick to create.  Notice I didn't stamp my trucks onto Candy Apple and Huckleberry Fusion card stock.  Instead I stamped them both onto Whip Cream card stock, did some masking and sponged the trucks.  I use my sponges in a different way depending on what I'm sponging.  I've made a video to show you how I used my sponges on the trucks...Enjoy!

Hit the Road ~ Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is one of five that I made for my September stamp a stacks. It's a nice CAS masculine card to make using the FSJ set Hit the Road.  Who hasn't thought about taking a trip down Historic Route 66?  My hubby and I would like to do it someday, that's for sure!  
To make this card I stamped everything using the Black Licorice ink pad and colored in the truck with the reddest watercolor pencil in the Journey Color Splash set (I think it was the first one, but since I'm not home I can't check!)  After I colored it in I used a Journey Blending Brush with the tip slightly damp.  It doesn't take much water to watercolor it!  After it was just about dry (paper still a little cool) I colored over it again to darken the truck.  I have to say that I need to work on my photo taking skills because the truck is darker in person and doesn't have any streaks in it!  I guess that's what the flash does, but the color is never as vibrant if I don't use it.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
