Vintage Apple Truck

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

For today's WT: to use apples on your card. I've been quite intimidated by the large area of coloring on this truck, so I've avoided it although I love the image. So today I just took the plunge! I started at the front and put it away (didn't like it), a lil bit later took it back out and decided to go for it. I know I have improving, but it's my first attempt at this sweet truck. I used a blender pen with ink pads and a watercolor pen for the brown outlining. Took me forever to decide how to place the dp and which kind to use! Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Well worth the stick-to-it-iveness Roberta! Nicely colored and I love the CAS layout in monochromatic green that really makes the red truck POP!

Beautiful coloring! I love the candy apple red color of the truck contrasting with those nice, crisp, green apples in the back!

I think you did a fantastic job on that truck. Love that apple green paper you used to compliment the green apples :) Great card.
