Vintage Truck and Trees

I love making snowy scenes and especially for my holiday cards. Today I’m sharing an old fashioned country Christmas card using the Old Truck and 3 Pine Trees.

I stamped the truck image twice on scrap watercolor paper, painted and cut out. I cut the wheels off the top layer of the truck and layered it over the wheels of the second layer to give dimension. I cut a slit along the top bed of the truck and inserted three cut Christmas trees. I painted white craft ink around on the truck to create the look of built up snow and embossed with white embossing powder. I inked the tree image and spritzed with water before stamping on watercolor paper. I repeated this step all the way across the main layer to create the forest of Christmas trees. I sponged in the sky using a hand cut scalloped cloud template to create the sky and sponged in brown on the ground area. I finished the main layer by painting white craft ink around the base of the trees and along the roadside. I attached the truck to the scene with rolled up glue dots and then applied Glossy Accents around the ground area and on the truck and applied Polar White Flower Soft for the appearance of soft snow. Here a couple other views. Click on the photos if you would like a closer view.
