Trucking Along – Shiny Blue Truck Among the Forest

I love playing with the Trucking Along Stamp set. I decided I wanted my truck to be shiny. I covered my stamped and colored truck with packing tape and fussy cut it so there were no white lines around it. I stamped the trees directly on the card layer and added some more with dimensionals to create a forest. I stamped the clouds in the sky, then masked the clouds before blending the sky.
