By the Golden Pond – Tutorial #175

Supplies:

Brayered So Saffron Ink all over a 4″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Brayered More Mustard ink at the top of the card stock.

Tore some post it notes to mask the sky area, the road and the pond.  Leave the sticky part of the post it note on your mask.

Brayered Really Rust over the unmask portion of the card stock.

Sponged dots of Real Red ink around the ground area.

Sponged some dots of Always Artichoke ink around the ground area and edges of the post it note masks.

Heavily sponged Basic Black ink at the horizon line edge of the post it note and a bit around the road mask.

Removed masks.

Inked my tree stamp up, but only put ink on the trees, not the ground portion of the stamp.

Stamped the trees.  See how they do not have trunks.

Put the trunks of the trees in with a black marker.

Sponged some really rust ink around the road and the pond to soften the hard lines.

Sponged More Mustard ink heavily at the top of the sky and sponged some More Mustard ink on the road and the pond.

Held a piece of card stock on for a mask and stamped the very tips of the tree stamp at the bottom of the pond to look like brush.

Assembled the main image panel with some simple black and More Mustard panels and here you have the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I hope the tutorial has inspired you to see what objects you can put in your scenes using torn post it notes.

May your day be golden!

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle
