Aloha, all!

When I joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator, one of the sets that I was encouraged to feature is the one called, "Loads of Love."  OK–I could relate to that, as I’d recently lived in rural New Mexico where pickup trucks were the norm.  And I’d recently moved to rural Hawaii, where pickups are the norm.  So why not?  BUT I would rather have not, as I’ve never owned a pickup.  Nonetheless, this set, as well as "Loads of Love Accessories," has really grown on me.  For one thing, I love to do watercolors, and this set is definitely a watercolor fill-in type of set.

I’m not sure how much longer this set has as far as its Stampin’ Up! life.  But it’s definitely in the current catalog, and it definitely has an Easter accessory.  So here that pickup truck is again!!

This time I used Classic Stampin’ Pads and an aquapainter to color in the truck and accessories on Stampin’ Up! watercolor paper.  As always, I started with light colors and moved up to dark.  For the hubcaps of the tires, I used the new 3/16" Jumbo Brads, in the silver color.  And, of course, the driver is a read head, as am I! 

Big excitement is that I’m going to demo this very card at a workshop at the end of the month!  If you have any suggestions for how I could change the card to make it a bit more exciting, feel free to chime in!
