Okay, so I am going to be really boring now and post the train version of my Traveller meets World Map. I have to say I found this train very difficult to colour without losing the definition. I think it took five or six attempts before I got one I was happy with. I found I got the best results colouring in with Copic markers rather than my SU markers.
For the steam I used a white gel pen.
The stamp sets used were all from Stampin' up:
Traveler for the train,
World Map,
Age awareness, for the sentiments,
An unknown brand
Small foliage stamp to stamp trees.
Card stock:
Hello Honey,
whisper white,
Brocade blue
Ink,
Summer sun, But you could use Hello Honey or Crushed Curry
Bashful Blue,
Old Olive,
Additional Tools
Sponge daubers,
black embossing powder,
heat tool,
A selection of green and grey Copic Markers
and white gel pen for the train and grass.
A selection of beige and brown markers for gravel and track.
And here's a shot of the insert. again the sentiments are from the Age awareness stamp set.
If you are regular reader of my blog, you may remember a while back I was asked to come up with some ideas for a travel theme wedding invitation.
Well, after a discussion with the bride here's what we decided on.
Making 60 of these is the reason I haven't posted anything my blog for a while.
A passport style cover (which was hot foiled in silver.) with an insert with pockets, to put the luggage tag RSVP and a boarding pass invitation in.
The colour chosen is S.U 's Marina mist card stock and ink.
A whole host of stamp sets were used for this creation.
The motorcycle, artistic etchings, open sea, feeling sentimental and The world map background stamp.
Other tools sponges, corner rounding punch
After printing of the passes and tags I masked off the front to keep it clean while working on the back .
Then randomly stamped the back of each pass and tag, then sponged the edges.
Then I removed the mask and softly sponged and stamped the front.
The above photo shows how I cut the card to make the pockets
