Pretty Pink Posh - Valentine Trucks

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this new Valentine card featuring some super cute and colorful Pretty Pink Posh trucks I had so much fun to color in this lovely color palette.

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in my favorite Valentine color palette: aqua, pink and red.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Construction Trucks - trucks (middle + bottom), piles of pink dirt, shovels, hearts, traffic cones • Construction Additions - truck (top), danger sign, fences.

Next I worked on the background and card base. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, masked the edges off using washi tape, and covered the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink. And I added large polka dots to my background using the Circle Grid stencil along with worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some lumberjack plaid oxide ink with water and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. I removed the washi tape, and set my panel aside to dry.

I cut three Eyelet Rectangles out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created the same background on the three panels. I masked the scalloped edges off with washi tape, covered the panels with salvaged patina oxide ink, and then added a word pattern using the Valentine Words stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I attached my slimline panel to a white card base, next the three Eyelet Rectangles on top using 1mm foam squares, and then the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I cut a Love Script out of red cardstock and out of white cardstock, I stuck the red one on top of the white one, and attached the whole piece on my panel using liquid glue. And I white heat embossed "I dig you" from Construction Additions on turquoise cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner on the panel using 2mm foam squares.

To finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, applied glossy accents to the Love Script and white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts.
