Wagon Wheel

Hiya, stampers! Here is a card I made using the wagon wheel from my new set, Farm Life. I made this card for the release party last week, so you may have seen it at StampTV, but I haven't shown it here on my blog yet.

I used Copics to color, starting with E53 as a base coat for the wheel and wood.

Next, I concentrated on the wheel, adding N3.

I used my blender pen to soften and smooth out the colors.

Added N5 to the metal outer part, and again used my blender pen.

For the inside, wooden parts, I added E35.

Added E57.

Then I used my blender pen to lighten and smooth out again. Next, I added some deeper shading with E49.

Added E35 to the wood siding, then used the blender pen to smooth out the transition of color.

Added some streaks of grey with N5, to give it a weathered look.

I used the blender pen again on the wood siding. then for the grass I filled in the whole area with YG03.

Added YG93.

Used just a bit of B00 above the wheel and cut out the image with oval Nestabilities.

Sponged around the edges with Memento Desert Sand.

Sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa.

For the larger rectangle, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury Ivory and sponged in from the edges with Memento Desert Sand.

Sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa.

I embossed with my Forest Branches CB folder and then hightlighted the raised areas by brushing lightly with my Rich Cocoa sponge dauber.

I stamped the sentiment, also from Farm Life, and sponged the same as above. I layered the panels with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and used a Pumpkin Spice cardbase.

Thanks for visiting. I hope your day is filled with smiles!
