Good morning and a very happy Thursday! Today I'm back at Country View Crafts with my second project for our Monochromatic challenge.
This time I've made a card for my brother-in-law as he and my sister have a beloved camper van.
I started with a Brusho background in shades of blue, and added some stenciling with the AALL & Create world map and circle stencils. I then stamped the wonderful AALL camper stamp. I loved how it looked but didn't feel that the image stood out enough.
So I stamped it again on some thick vellum. I tore round the edges and embossed it in some ancient Moon Glow Two Tone embossing powder. Honestly I must have had this at least 15 years but it only comes out on special occasions lol. I also coloured some bits underneath with blue and white pencils to highlight them.
I wanted to highlight the turtle and van windows further so I added some Glossy Accents. Maybe not the best of ideas 'cos it really made the vellum warp (OK I did put rather a lot on) I attached this over the original card with brads through the wheels and it actually looks quite nice now - the warping seems to give it a bit of movement so we'll pretend that that was part of the plan!
Before I added the vellum I put back the two stencils and put through some Izink Ice just to make the design stand out a little more.
This is what I've used.
I hope you have a lovely day whatever you are doing, take care, and thanks so much for looking x
