Classic Pickups Cards

A set of blank cards I made to donate to 

Operation Write Home 

using the 

Classic Pickups stamp set from 

Stampin' Up!

watercolored with ink pads and an aquapainter

Highways and Byways background stamp

Silver Signo gel pen for "chrome"

I think I'll submit this one for the 

Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown-

Green  Challenge, too  !

The following three truck images were

stamped with Basic Brown ink. 

I used sticky notes to mask off the edges

then sponged on brown inks and

lightly sprayed /rubbed on

walnut ink stain.

Faux brass tacks made with 1/4" circle punch

and gold paper, 

lightly smooshed into the palm of my hand

with the end of an Empressor stylus tool

to create a bit of dimension.

Woodgrain background stamp, Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamps

 and ink pads smeared across the card stock
to create the wood wall look that the
"old photos" are "tacked" to.

Wonderfully Worn background stamp

and ink pads smeared across the card stock to

create the background.

Masking tape

I think I may add 

a greeting to the front......

Here is a set using Classic Pickups I sent to Operation Write Home in 2011
