so sweet!
I just love these cute little construction vehicles!
I stamped and colored all of the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used images from Love Quarry and Valentine Postage Sampler
I also added some details with a white gel pen. and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

I die cut out the frame with a warm pink tone of cardstock and white cardstock with the Frames & Tags die set. I used the white dies that were created from the windows and did some ink blending with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink, then I added some texutre with white embossing paste and the Petite Hearts Stencil
I also die cut out the dirt piles from white cardstock using the Sky Borders die set. then I did lots of ink blending with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber. I also splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink on top.

I love how easy it was to combine the images from both stamp sets! 
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. and adding just a sprinkling of black splatters in a few corners. 

be sure to check out this card up on the Newton's Nook blog!
enjoy!
