Construction Additions

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card with the new Construction Additions stamp set. I teamed it with some images from the original Construction Trucks stamp set.

I began by stamping out the images from both sets and colouring with copic markers. I chose a colour palette of yellow and black, but you can colour these vehicles in a range of colours. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies, and added a couple of die cut layers behind the vehicles for dimension.

Copic marker colours

• Construction vehicles: V13-17 N5-7 C1-5 B000-00
• Hard hat: YR04 16 18
• Traffic cone: BG000 YR04 16 18
• Safety barrier: N5-7 Y13-17 C3-5
• Spade: YR27 C3-5
• Dirt: E43-44
• Warning triangle: R24-27 C3-5 

Next, I cut strips of black and yellow card, using the Stitched Strips die set. I adhered these to a thin piece of paper, in a diagonal pattern, trimming away any overhanging edges.

I adhered the stitched strip panel vertically on an A2 card base, leaving a little white space along the bottom edge. I then stamped a sentiment from the Construction Additions stamp set to the side. Finally, I adhered the images over the panel to finish.

I hope you were inspired by this card. It is so fun and easy to create boy cards with these new products!
