The Red Vintage Truck

I’m just a wee bit excited about this lovely truck. As you might have guessed, it is one of my daughter’s digital designs and is available as a digital stamp from Echidna Studios to print any size you like. She took a photo of a vintage truck one day and this design is inspired by that truck. It wasn’t in winter and it didn’t have a tree in the back but she added the tree as an optional addition! The digital stamp is called Vintage Truck + Bonus Christmas Tree!
I haven’t done any pencil colouring but I thought it would pop on kraft paper so I printed it on my laser printer. I used Polychromos pencils to colour it and added the snow at the end with a white gel pen
The kraft paper is a thick paper which I bought on Amazon; I like the warmth of the colour. Some kraft papers are a bit more grey. The card is 7″x5″ which is unusual for me but I found an envelope that works. I think I might do more of a burgandy coloured truck next. My daughter did blue on her samples so check them out on the Echidna Studios instagram account. (We’d love you to follow us there and on Pinterest if you’d like to.)

This is a fabulous truck and beautifully coloured with your polychromos pencils Heather, and love the bits of snow which have settled on the truck and tree, and a dusting on the ground beneath it which I am assuming was added with a white pencil, and some light gel pen snowfall in the background too, also the kraft paper has a lovely rich colour. x
Delightful.
Congratulations to mother and daughter.
OMG! That is one, fabulous truck but your coloring of it brought it to life. This is fantastic pencil coloring and so beautifully blended with shadows and highlights. Love that it came with the tree in the bed too!
This is a fantastic card! Though I have to say, I think all of your cards are
great! 🙂 They always have a lot of thought and time put into them and they are mini master pieces!
Wow! This is an awesome Christmas card, Heather! Love how you’ve colored this truck and the snowy look of the whole card!
Love the old truck and the tree with it, terrific coloring!
LOVE this vintage truck, Heather. It is coloured perfectly and I love it on the coloured background. Amazing work! xx
