Summer Birthday

One of the girls in my card making group that I have known since starting card making asked if we could make a card for her Grandpa turning 97, since he can't have a party she wants him to be flooded with cards.  I went to my coloring calendar images and found this truck hauling watermelon and I thought now that would make a good summer time birthday card :)

I first colored it with markers, adding a little brown to look like those trucks with the wood details and then took my Rusty Hinge ink to add a few rust spots to the truck, it has to be an old farm truck taking the watermelon to the farmers market.

The road and sky were done with distress inks, using my homemade sky stencil and adding some white lines in the road with my gel pen.

Fiskars - Essential Sayings stamp sentiment

I think you can tell a little better here that I used Nuvo crystal glaze on the windows and some silver gel pen and silver marker on rims and truck details.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and saying Hi, can you believe we are half way through another week.
