Hello everyone,

I present you my second inspiration of this month of April.

A vintage layout inspired by a photo of a "Monster Truck" car show.

I selected chipboard elements such as gears to represent the robust mechanics of the vehicles and this chipboard that mimics a metal chain to add an industrial touch to the composition. The color palette includes earthy and metallic tones to enhance the retro vibe and recall the bold spirit of monster trucks.

"enjoy EVERY moment"

The chipboard used:

enjoy-every-moment-title

aged-film-strip-set

asst-chain-lengths

steampunk-gears-medium

I don't use gesso.

I apply "antique linen" Distress ink on the "chain-lenghts" chipboard by rubbing it randomly.

My goal is to achieve an aged effect, reminiscent of an antique chain.

I proceed in the same way for the "aged-film-strip-set" chipboard by applying an additional color "spawn burlap". Then I add printed paper to bring contrast and fantasy to the whole.

Below my photo, I add some steampunk chipboard panels decorated in various colors. Next, I move on to adding the title "enjoy EVERY Moment." I start by applying Distress "faded jeans" ink to the letters of the title, creating a beautiful faded blue shade. To give the text more depth and shine, I then use embossing powder applied with a Distress embossing pen. I heat the powder with a heat gun until it melts, forming a vibrant raised pattern that catches the eye.
