This is for LSC Bonus 7 to use Loads of Love and Accessories. I love this set. I have 33 LOL cards in my file on my computer. I stamped the truck once on the main layer and again on a scrap of watercolor paper. I painted the scrap truck and cut it out so I could pop it up over the main image and put the tires in the bg of the truck. I painted the truck with tempting turquoise. I masked the truck wheels on the main layer and sponged on olive to create the hillside and ground area. I stamped and painted the three trees with sponges and a dry brush with reinker. I think this adds a little depth to the tree. I also took a brown artist pen and filled in some branch area to make the tree look a little more real but I dont think it shows on the scan. I stamped off the doggies three times so I could place them in the cab and back of the truck. I also wanted a few of them around on the ground. They are a little hard to see but they are there. I love the thought of a dog driving the truck. I guess I am still only 6 or 7 years old. I painted all the dogs and cut them out and attached to the ground, sign and truck. Before I put the truck on the main image I took an olive and artichoke marker and created the little grassy areas and then used a mustard marker to make the little wild flowers in the bg. It just doesn't take much to add a little softness to a scene with the flick of a marker here and there. Little effort but big payoff. I did the sky with cloud template and bashful blue and marigold. I also sponged a little marigold along the flower and grass line to give some light and pop them out a little. I never get tired of making scenes with this truck set and loved it that Jen picked it for a bonus challenge. Thanks so much, Jen!
