Trucks! I know, I know, trucks for Christmas, right? We all need to stretch our wings and make a little something for the guys, and this tag is an answer to that. Wouldn’t these tags look sharp on a wrapped Xbox under the tree?
I had colored this image a while back during travel, and had instagrammed the work in progress – that was met with a LOT of positive response, along with some requests for a tutorial. Happy to oblige! This version in the video is a little simpler than the one I colored while travelling – just to help if you’re trying to CASE this for a card or tag of your own. December is passing by fast, so we need to get ‘er done! Enjoy the video below – and if you can’t see it there, watch it in HD on YouTube by clicking HERE.
Below are a few closeups….

PS The concert last night was wonderful! Opera, violin duets, and reflections on the Christmas season…I was asked to read one, that’s what I had to get all gussied up for. Pics on Instagram!

Sandy,
Go check out the sweetest story, on the Today show website go to Menu on left side and go to Good News and check out the story of a little boy who wants to be a UPS driver and what they did for him!
Each video amazes me! How do you do it? You work magic with those Copics!
Wow! Love that ole truck! Just looks so much like Christmas in the South! Great job!

Just found this site and signed up right away to enjoy the tags. Never thought about doing trucks for Christmas but my young son in law would love these!
You have such a talent, and not only with Copics (as we saw yesterday with the watercolors), you constantly amaze me.
oh my. this just knocked my socks off.
Well Sandy, all I can say is this just might be the most impressive tag I have ever seen – bar none! It is so out of the norm and so awesomely great for a guy. Love it bunches!!
I hope you’ll do some more B & W coloring. The slushy road really completes the scene.

Wonderful black and white truck!! I recognize it from Julie’s class at Impress – amazing the different looks you can get from the same stamp! It’s amazing to watch you color!
I learn sooo much from you each time I watch your videos. I was stunned how beautiful your tags were and you only used greys! To me it looked like a photo. Gorgeous!
I can’t stand it…this is so, well, AWESOME! Possibly one of my favoritest “Sandy” ever!
Wow … your talent never ceases to amaze me!!! PS I checked out your Instagram photo. You looked so beautiful! I’m glad you enjoyed the concert. 🙂
Wonderful work again.
My husband watched this with me since I knew he would like the masculine truck. He really appreciates your talent and how you share your techniques. Me? I just got my morning fix of “Sandy” — SOOOO satisfying!!!!
Sandy, I was mesmerized watching you create this amazing tag. Wow!!! 🙂
I LOVE this truck tag! My husband loves trucks and old cars (just about anything that has wheels and a motor). This a great tag for guys. Love it.

I LOVE the truck and how the snow tracks look slushy. When I first saw the previous truck, all I could think is how I would want to frame the card. In awe of your coloring. I do not color but I still watch all your videos.
Your black and white “coloring” is beautiful. Thanks for the chances to win.
So vintage1
A great vintage, masculine tag. Love that it was done in black & white and love the tip about the snow. TFS
