Blog Candy and Mellow Lake - Tutorial #185
Hello, Hello, Hello! I am flying around here today preparing for my trip tomorrow to Wheaton Illinois where I will be teaching my Brayer workshops to some totally terrific ladies Friday and Saturday. By the way, there are a couple of spots left if you want to jump in at the last moment, but you will have to let me know today via e-mail at mzindorf@aim.com and we will see if we can get you signed up before I leave tomorrow morning.
My tutorial this morning is a very mellow scene. I think this would be a great thinking of you or sympathy card. It has such a peaceful feel to it.
But before I get into the tutorial today I have Blog candy to give away.
To throw your hat in the ring to win this stunning stamp set by Basic Grey, please leave a comment on this post for me to enter you. If you are getting this blog update by e-mail you will need to click this link and then leave a comment at the end of the post:
http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/03/11/blog-candy-and-mellow-lake-tutorial-185/
I will use a random number generator when I return from Illinois on Monday, March 16th to select the winner.
Good Luck to All!
Now on with the tutorial. 
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up LeJardin Botanique |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Basic Black & Bordering Blue |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up Going Gray, Bordering Blue & Basic Black |
| Accessories: Brayer, sponges, Post it notes, Brads, Ribbon |
Please don’t forget you can order your Stampin’ Up products from me 24-7 from this link: http://michellezindorf.stampinup.net or e-mail me at mzindorf@aim.com if you are within the United States
Brayered Bordering Blue ink on the top of a 4.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White Card stock.
Flipped the card stock around and brayered Bordering Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Tore a post it note through the sticky edge and used it as a mask for the sky.
Sponged Going Gray ink on to create a mountain.
Added another post it note and lightly sponged in a circular motion Black ink along the bottom post it note and right at the edge of the top torn post it note.
Removed the two post it notes and torn a new one to create a mirror image of the mountain. Put it at the bottom of the card stock.
Sponged Going Gray ink at the post it note edge to create the mountain reflection.
Flipped the card stock upside down and sponged Going gray under the black ink in the middle of the card stock.
Lightly added black in the middle of the card stock, not covering the Gray ink entirely. Also sponged a bit of the black ink right at the torn post it note edge.
Sponged Bordering Blue in on the left middle section of the card stock over the black and gray.
Stamped the tree using Basic Black ink.
Now this is a perfect example of why I should take a moment and use my Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. I stamped my tree upside down with Basic Black ink to create the reflection of the original tree in the water. I was just a bit off with my stamping and it looks a bit weird.
My advice use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line things up perfectly.
Put a post it note under the top tree and sponged Basic Black ink at the post it note edge to create the little land edge.
Removed the post it note and assembled the card front. I used my piercing tool to pierce through the ribbon and card stock in order to start my brads.
Here is my finished card measuring 5 1/8″ x 6 5/8″.
May you have a perfectly mellow rest of the week.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

That card is great. Like all your other cards that you make. I just love your tutor you show how easy it can be to make your cards. Thanks for sharing. Gloira
As always, Michelle, your work is absolutely beautiful! I’ve been looking at that particular Basic Grey stamp set, so would love to win it!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
Vicki
This is a great card! I love the peacefulness of it. I’m glad to hear you are finally coming to Colorado. I’m going to have to try to make this class!!
I love starting my day with your tutorials. Such beautiful art. I am a major fan of Basic Grey products and do not have any of their stamps yet. Would be privileged to win.
I love this card!! I’ll be trying to make this card later today wish me luck!!!
Oh Wow! This card is amazing! I am heading over to see if it is for sale!
You always amaze me!
Thanks so much for the chance to win.
WOW! beautiful card. I love using the brayer but haven’t had it out in a long while. Time to dust it off and bring it back out.
Count me in
I love this serene scene.
It really doesn’t look all that weird, remeber water often causes such light refractions!
What a beautiful card. I really loved that stamp set.. I just didn’t know what I would do with it. I wish I had your vision seeing your card! Beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial. Once my craft room is completed (needs to be organized) I am going to try giving a brayer ideas class. I must admit my ideas are COMPLETELY different from yours.
Oh my gosh, your card ideas are just too beautiful for words. I am ashamed to say that I think I own 2 brayers and have not used either in quite some time. Thanks again for the tutorials that you share. It makes it all look so easy. (for me - NOT!!!) LOL!
I just love your use of colour tones - so dramatic and yet peaceful at the same time. Very inspiring - here in the UK I pop in frequently to attempt some of your wonderful tutorials (thank you for taking the time and trouble to post them). I definitely need more practise!!
Beautiful design! I love the peaceful colors and scene. You are such an artist!
Another great card! Good luck on your trip this weekend,
Niki
just love your tutorials and hope you come to Edmonton as I would love to go to your tutorials.Thanks for your inspiration
Eileen

That stamp set looks awesome. One day the random number generator gods will look on me with favor LOL.
Thanks for all you do. Here’s hoping you come to Iowa soon!
Beautiful card Michelle. I love Basic Grey stamp sets. They are so pretty in the package too. I would love to add this set to my collection.
thanks much
I think the tree off to the side just adds a different perspective to the card. It’s as if you are looking at it from the side, instead of straight on. Great job, and thanks again for the step by step instructions.
Wow, this card scene is just stunnning. The colors are great! Very cute stamp set too. Please enter me and sure sidh I could have made it to the classes. Have fun at them all! Kathy Eddy
such a beautiful card, I love the tranquility. TFS
Christine
Beautiful card. It has such a peaceful feel. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have been so inspired by all the cards you do, especially the ones involving trees. I recently got a stamp set full of trees and am eager to incorporate those into some of the card ideas you have. Great work!
I agree with you such a peaceful looking card. Thanks for the chance to win. I have just fell in love with your work. You are great at making these cards.
Beautiful card again. I would love to win this set!
What a beautiful card. Just makes me want to go there. So peaceful!
this is another wonderful tutorial..I´m addicted to your blog Michelle!
Great Card!
Hugs from Vienna, Austria
Susan
Beautiful card! I’m always in awe at how beautiful something familiar like inks and stamps can look when you’re done with them
This reminds me of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.
Another beautiful card. I’m always amazed at what you can do with ink.
Great card. Have you ever thought of doing a coloring workshop? I know you did not use it in this card but some of your cards have beautiful coloring on them. Thanks for the great cards and lessons.

Michelle this is so beautiful. As always you never cease to amaze me. This card can be used for so many things. I seriously need to try this one.
If you sometimes come to Austria (Europa), I´m going to visit your workshop !
The scene is really peaceful, respect!

So beautiful as always. Love the brayer!! Kathy
Beautifully serene to put it simply.
I always check to see if you have a new card up everyday, I get down when there is nothing new for me to see. This one I just sat back in my chair and said WOW, I was so up tight, but when I saw the card I was in that place you created in the card. you have a gift and I want to say Thank you for sharing it with not just me but everyone.
Thanks again Ruthann
Another beautiful scene Michelle
If you ever feel like a jaunt to Australia, we could fill any number of classes for you *hint,hint* Safe and happy travels to you.

Beautiful Card Michelle
Oh, pick me! Yeah, that’s it, pick me!!
Another gorgeous creation… beautifully done

OH My Goodness this scene is just beautiful! I wish I was going to one of your workshops! Not sur eit would help though! I fight with my brayer everytime I use it!
Thanks for more blog candy one of these days I might get lucky!;-)

Another beautiful card that you make look so easy but actually it isn’t! The mirroring and subtleness of the shading are so well done and getting them right makes the difference between a splodgy mess and a scene. I am going to have to try this though at the weekend with one of my tree stamps! Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful serene card Michelle
Good luck with your classes and safe travelling
Thankyou for the chance to win your beautiful candy.
*hugs* Heather x

OMG! Your tutorial was awesome, and nothing I’ve ever done.
Plus, I really appreciate seeing the stamp set up close. I knew they had new ones, but I haven’t seen them. We’re pretty lean around here for stamp/scrap stores, and I haven’t been to Archivers in ages.
Thank you for the opportunity. I need to check back on your blog more often.

Please enter me in the running for the lovely blog candy. Thanks for the opportunity, and for the awesome tutorial! Terri
I come look at your artwork almost everyday and I am never disappointed in what I see. You are a magician with a brayer. Your work with the brayer was what inspired me to at least give it a try. I am still learning how to do it but I am getting a little bit better. I sure wish your classes were closer to where I live; I would be attending all of them. Keep up the truly inspired and beautiful work Michelle.
Dear Michelle-
Thank you for sharing. This set is just beautiful.
I love your art work, you are such a talent.

Thanks Love
Love this one! I can see just sitting under that tree, enjoying the peace and quiet.
Oh my gosh, I have to have this stamp set! In 1997 our area flooded and soon after the water went down I was in our backyard with my then 18 month old son looking at the peacocks that somehow decided that our back garden was their new roosting place. My husband took pictures of me showing the peacock to our son. Anyway I took pictures of the peacock and still have to scrap them. So in turn this stamp set would be just awesome!
Always follow your blog and love of of your hard work you put into it. I hope you have a great trip!
Thamks for a chance to win!

Another great card and tutorial. I gotta find my old brayer from Junior High or get a new one and try this out. I really like this card but usually like most of them you do. Something about the tranquility really caught my attention. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is beautiful! Your work always inspires me and this one is no exception. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
Oh Michelle, I love this card - it is very peaceful - and you’re right, can be used as a sympathy card. I want to try it when I get all my house painting finished. Have fun in IL; wished you were coming closer to NC - I’d love to attend one of your workshops. Have a safe trip.
Michelle,
I agree, this piece has a definite serene feeling to it. It could also work well for a “missing you” type of note. Wish I had time and $$$ to go to the Wheaton class. One day, I will get into a class from the “mistress of the brayer”. What a title, huh??? Please throw my hat in the ring for the blog candy. It is a very interesting stamp set!!! Hisses, Rockin Robin Caldwell
