Hi, crafty friends! Lea Lawson here with you today, creating a card featuring the beautiful new Highway Horizons stencils from the Classic Road Legends collection by Mindy Eggen.
To start, we are going to ink blend the stencils in numbered order. Align stencil 1 over top of an A2-sized (4.25” x 5.5”) Classic White cardstock panel, then ink blend in dark gray ink. I prefer to use a grip mat when ink blending, but you can also adhere them in place with low-tack tape!
Align stencil 2 to the panel, then ink blend the dunes in sand brown and the sun in two shades of yellow. Use low-tack tape to mask the stencil opening as needed to avoid unwanted colors.
Align stencil 3 to the panel, then ink blend orange-red ink.
Align stencil 4 to the panel, then ink blend the dune details in dark brown ink and the canyon details in terracotta orange ink.
Align stencil 5, then ink blend the sky in aqua ink and the cacti in green ink. Remove the final stencil to reveal your finished background!
Next, we are going to diecut the Hot Rod Flames die set. To start, diecut the main car layers from Waterfall and Teal Topaz cardstock.
Diecut the tires from black, the undershadow & sidestep from Anchor cardstock, tire details from Antique White mirror metallic cardstock, and the headlights from Antique White glitter metallic cardstock.
Diecut the flames from Carrot & Saffron cardstock, the remaining card details from Gold Matte Metallic cardstock, and the grill cover from Brushed Gold cardstock.
TIP: I didn’t align the back tire very well, and a little bit of the blue car was showing below the tire. I used scissors to snip away that little bit of blue stick out, and no one will ever know I made a small mistake!
Stamp the sentiment from the Road Trip Adventures stamp set in black directly to the top of the ink blended background.
Note: this stamp set does have a coordinating die set, so if you would rather stamp to separate cardstock and diecut, please feel free!
Adhere the ink blended background directly to a landscape A2 card base cut and folded from Classic White cardstock.
