I used the lovely Tasty Trucks stamp set from Stampin’ Up! again today, love this set and you can choose it for free with a £45 order. For more info follow the link to my shop.
I stamped the truck onto a Whisper White cardstock panel using Momento Tuxedo Black ink as I planned to watercolour the stamped image. Many people don’t realise how versatile these ink pads are – by squeezing the top and bottom of the ink pad between your thumb and fingers you get a pool of ink in the top of the ink pad and that can be used with an Aquapainter, Blender Pen or brush to colour in a project.
For a step by step guide to this technique, as shown in Diana Carr’s picture below, check out this link to her blog – The Secret Life of Paper – http://secretlifeofpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/watercoloring-with-stampin-up-ink-pads.html
I opted to use Peakaboo Peach, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight and Chocolate Chip ink pads for this project and a Blender Pen to watercolour the image with.

I added the watercoloured panel to a layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I Stamped the bottom of a piece of Peakaboo Peach cardstock with the sweet little cupcake from the stamp set using the Peakaboo Peach ink pad, added strips of Daffodil Delight and Cucumber Crush cardstock and layered the watercoloured piece on top. This whole panel was added to a piece of Whisper White cardstock before being attached to the Chocolate Chip card base.

I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock to the inside of the card as the Chocolate Chip is too dark to write on. I added the truck driving in from the left as a cheeky little touch and followed up by stamping a partial truck on either side of the Whisper White envelope.

This is not a colour combo I have ever used before but I think I like it. Let me know what you think and maybe give me some other colour combinations to try. Thanks for visiting my blog today. Come back soon.
