At the End of the Day – Tutorial

Feels very good to be back in my craft-room stamping again.  These stamp images are from https://www.mypapermoon.com

Ready for a tutorial?  If so, let’s get started.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stamps by My Paper Moon

Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Going Gray & Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up Going Gray, Stazon Black, Adirondack Hazelnut, Salmon, Terra Cotta, Rust & Oregano

Accessories: Sponges, Post it note, 1 3/8″ circle punch, brayer, white Gel pen, Prismacolor Metallic Silver Paint Pen

On Whisper White card stock brayered Hazelnut ink on both ends, leaving a white space.

On both ends again, brayered on Salmon ink, not covering the Hazelnut completely.

Punched a 1 3/8″ circle in a post it note and used the negative image as a mask.

Sponged Terra Cotta ink in a circular motion over circle in post it note.

Sponged Rust ink in a circular motion over bottom and top of circle in post it note.

Tore a cliff shape from a piece of Going Gray card stock.

Sponged Going Gray ink along the front edge of the cliff shape and Oregano ink along the top edge.

Ignore the color at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped bird in tree stamp with Stazon black ink.

Stamped Tree stamp with Stazon Black ink at top of card stock.

Adhered cliff shape to main card stock.

Stamped tree stamp along bottom of card stock with Stazon Black ink.

Sponged Going Gray ink at bottom of card stock using a bouncing motion.

Sponged  Stazon Black ink at bottom of card-stock not covering all of the Going Gray ink.

Decided I wanted the scene to be a lot darker at the top of the card stock so I brayered on Rust ink along the top.

Used a white gel pen to color in the bird.

Sponged Going Gray in at the backside of the cliff.

Used a Prismacolor Silver Paint Pen to go around the edge of the card stock.  Note:  just hold the pen so it is half on the card stock and half on your scrap paper and you will get a straight line without a ruler.

Used the white gel pen again to make highlights in the trees and to add a few specks on the ground area to simulate weeds and grasses.

Here is the assembled card.

Thanks for following along with me and I hope you will give it a try.

May your evening be filled with a sunset!

Until tomorrow. . . . .
