CSS Sketch Challenge

Hallo,
Welcome to friday evening!!! To start your weekend the CSS gals from Gina K (me included :) are having a blog hop using this sketch from Melissa C. as our inspiration.
I am the begining of the hop this time, but if you get lost along the way head back to Stamp TV - www.stamptv.ning.com to find the way again.
Make sure to leave sweet comments along the way because somewhere along the hop we are giving away a HUGE grab bag of Gina K stamps (we will draw the name on tuesday the 24th of April)

I did 2 cards this time around - the first one is closest to the sketch but I wanted to have more gears showing so I stretched the sketch a bit and did another card.
In my first card I colored the truck red with copics (stamped onto DP) - the truck is from "The Journey" and the phrase is from one of the newer sets "Masculine Messages"
I used Spellbinders dies to cut the gears from copper and silver mettalic paper and Spellbinders labels dies to cut out the truck and phrase.
Accents with a bronze via decor pen.

My second card is a bit larger at 5X7 and I flipper the sketch so I could add a longer row of gears. I used the same truck and this time used the label and the phrase from the "Masculine Messages" - all colored with copics and again accented with a viva decor pen.
Ok its time to send you on your way to the fabulous Sharri - www.istamp4u.blogspot.com/2012/04/gina-k-designs-april-css-hop.html
Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
Tera
