Little Car in The Big Woodstraded
My contribution to Daring Card Makers' challenge on photo finish.
Car - a vintage Opel Kapitän - via Rein, so this one is taking part in her Monday Morning Share challenge as well!
clicks for big!
technicalities:
Background was first gessoed in with a spatula on a shiny 4-color postcard. After it had dried, it was painted over with blue water color, which let the gesso lines show through as texture. Left corner was further rubbed in with dark brown gel paint, then painted twice over with water colors, one time with purple, then with Prussian blue. All elements are glued on - a vintage Austro-Hungarian map, a fir branch from an oldish abc book, a bird, Rein's car. The letters are rub-ons (my first! yay).
Woow, this is a fab card!

ReplyDeleteei mitään hätää decon kanssa.
This is just lovely, those soft colours all work together so well and give it the feel of a picture from an old magazine iykwim
ReplyDeleteOnpas kivan näköinen kortti!
ReplyDeletealice--This is so GOOD!! I love the little green car!!
ReplyDeleteYou asked on my blog if doing a 9 x 12 canvas was harder after doing ATC's. I rarely do ATC's (unless it is for an ATC challenge)..most of my stuff is 5 X 7--so I am used to working larger.
Thank you for your sweet comment!!

Wonderful pictures! Thank you ever so much for sharing technical information. I have a big pot of gesso in a cupboard, but didn't know how to use it.
