This is for FS239 and Chrissyd723 aka Chrissy Dickinson is our featured artist today. Congratulations Chrissy! I had a wonderful time this morning browsing through your gallery. I came back to your newest card, Embossed Kissing African Veldt, Embossed Kissing African Veldt by Chrissyd723 at Splitcoaststampers and was inspired by the simple layout and images. I kept fairly close to the same layout although I changed the card to a 5.25 square. I didn't use twine across my image front but instead used red ribbon on two of the corners. I changed the images from your african theme to an vintage truck winter scene.
The trees were stamped on cardstock and painted with reinkers. I sponged in the blue sky using a hand cut cloud template and ink blending tool. I sponged in the dirt parking area with brown and then painted snow in around the trees using white craft ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The truck was colored with reinkers and cut out. I cut a slit along the top edge of the truck bed and inserted a Christmas tree. I thought the little red bow on the tree top added a touch of color to this fairly neutral scene and also matched the corner ribbons. These images are from a new soon to be released Kittie Kits at Rubbernecker Stamps. My blog: http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kittiekraft/
