STAMPIN' UP! TRUCKING ALONG BIRTHDAY CARD IN EARTHY TONES

I think the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper, from Stampin' Up!, is great for masculine cards.  It is part of the Christmas range, but is really versatile.

Here's how I combined a couple of the patterned papers with the Trucking Along bundle:

The sentiment, courtesy of the Biggest Wish stamp set, was stamped in Copper Clay and Pebbled Path inks, on Basic White card.  I cropped it using a Deckled Rectangles die, and added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots after I'd glued the sentiment panel onto a starry-patterned piece of the DSP.

Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon was laid across the bottom of the Copper Clay paper.  The DSP is layered onto Pebbled Path and Crumb Cake panels, and a Thick Basic White card base.  I sponged around the edges of the DSPs with Crumb Cake ink.

On the paper that looks like sandy hills, I stamped some clouds in white craft ink, and a "track" in Pebbled Path ink to ground the truck.

The outline of the truck  was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (as were the tyres) on Basic White card, and for the body of the truck I used Copper Clay ink.  I used my Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends marker to colour the wheel hubs, and added black brads to the centres.  On a separate piece of Basic White card, I stamped the presents in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  After colouring them with Stampin' Blends markers in Crumb Cake, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path, I fussy-cut them and adhered them (with liquid glue) behind the tray of the truck.  The truck is raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
