Dies R Us: Family Road Trip

Jul 7, 2017

Family Road Trip

Good morning Dies R Us Blog Readers! Alicia here today. Being in the midst of summer travel season, I was inspired by family road trips of old. Do you remember a time before seat belts? I know I do when all us kids would be "loose" in the back reading, coloring or just looking out the window watching the trees go by...

This scene was so fun to create. I started with inking the background then building the layers of trees and roads both Lawn Fawn dies. Four dies come with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Tree border dies: two borders and two tree tops. So I had to cut each border twice, once in green and once in brown. I then cut the tree trunks off the border. When layering, I placed the borders, then the tree tops and finally the tree trunks. Of course I had to cut the two tree tops several times each.

I cut a couple of clouds out of white shimmer paper. Finally, I perused by stamp collection for just the perfect vehicle to travel in my scene. I found this old family roadster and the memories started flowing. I placed a small piece of acetate behind the "windows" which is a little hard to see in the picture.
