Hey there! Are you ready for another great hop? I hope so, cause we got some masculine cards for you. Here is mine:
The truck is from Unity's March 2018 Kit of the Month, stay classy, and the sentiment is from Let Adventure designed by Jolande van Oosterhout and Marleen van Meerendonk. I used several layers of pattern paper from different companies. The negative die cut is Basic Grey. I really miss this company. The sky was colored with Prima water soluble oil pastels. Grass was colored with a Prima watercolor pencil. The truck was colored with Prima red rust effect paste. I added a little water to the paste to make it more of a water color than a paste. If you use this paste at full strength, you get a nice rusty, grainy texture. It's really cool. I colored the tires with Prima water soluble Graphite sticks. These are really fun to use too.
Oh I almost forgot! There are two giveaways this month, so make sure you visit everyone and leave some love. Good luck!
Well, I hope you enjoyed our little hop. Next up is the lovely, Jeanie! Make sure to leave her some love.
