Happiness is a Journey

Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's June 1 Reveal


This month FIVE new stamp sets are being introduced. Until June 3, the sets are 20% off their regular price. The Camera Life rubber stamp set is available on Cling Mounted Rubber, as a digital image, and is also included in Jazzy Jill's Technique Video for the month.



The sets are:
Journal Mixed Media #606
Camera Life #620 (Digital Stamp available)
Vintage Pickup #628 (Digital Stamp available)
Road Less Traveled (sports car) #629 (Digital Stamp available)
Travelin (camper) #630 (Digital Stamp Set available)
plus
(a Cruisin' Digital Stamp Set #Digi629 which contains all the cars & trucks, including a VW Beetle #Digi629.2 is available. 






Aren't these sets perfect for summer travel? I had fun using the Vintage Pickup and Journal Mixed Media sets on my card.




For the right panel I used a piece of metal sheet, ran it through a gear embossing folder, swiped black permanent ink over the raised areas and sanded off some of the ink. The left panel was made by stamping the mesh stamp from the Journal Mixed Media set and adding Teddy Brown embossing powder EP187to it. I also used the same embossing powder on the saying and truck.




To make the truck more interesting, I stamped the dictionary stamp from the Journal Mixed Media set onto the truck, colored it and fussy cut. I used a silver metallic pen on the chrome areas and silver embellishments on the wheels. The dictionary stamp was also used on the torn paper background. I used the golf bag from the Golf stamp set 509 to put in the back of the truck.

    April, this is a great masculine card. The embossed metal sheeting and the metal embellishments really add to the look. Great idea to add the golf bag in the back of the truck.
