What a fun challenge! I wasn't sure if I was up to this challenge - it really made me think!!
Base card is SU dark brown (can’t remember the official name – sorry). Layer of K&Co. Wild Saffron. Stamp: SU Loads of Love. Truck was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, then outlined with VersaMarker Pen and embossed with clear Ranger embossing powder, and colored with Copics; bumpers and hub caps silver embossed and pierced with black brads; windows clear embossed; tires colored with watercolor pencils. Truck is stamped on ‘rescued’ recycled cardstock which originally served as a cover for a book of sample papers from a graphics arts department. Edges were ‘roughed up’ and smudged with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Truck image rectangle mounted on handmade paper. When I made the paper last year – for whatever reason – I threw a coffee pot worth of used coffee grounds into the paper mulch. (Why did I do that - I have NO idea???) Anyway - the handmade paper is recycled from egg cartons, cardboard and coffee grounds. Difficult to see – but trust me the grounds are there - too bad it doesn’t SMELL like a hot cup of java! These layers are attached to a recycled deep teal color file folder.
The coffee beans (SU! Espress Yourself) is stamped on the back of a Hallmark card “rescued” from the trash and colored with Copic and watercolor pencil. I attached the base of the beans to the truck with tape adhesive and lifted only the top of the beans with dimensional for 3-D effect.
