Stamped Clock on a 4″ square piece of Whisper White card stock by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then with Basic Black ink before stamping it.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Masked the bottom of the card stock with a post it note and flipped it upside down and brayered Apricot Appeal ink on the card stock.
Flipped the card stock right side up and Brayered on Bashful Blue ink.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink on the card stock, not covering the Bashful Blue up entirely.
Brayered Dusty Durango ink on the Apricot Appeal ink, not covering it entirely.
Took the old Post it note mask off and put a new one on to cover the sky area. Sponged Old Olive ink on the unmasked area.
Sponged Always Artichoke ink on the right hand side of the card stock.
Sponged Basic Black ink on the Right side of the card stock, not covering the Always Artichoke ink up entirely.
Stamped the tree by first loading the stamp with Old Olive ink. Then added Always Artichoke ink to one side of the tree leaves and Basic Black ink to the trunk before stamping it.
Sponged Basic Black ink all the way around the card stock edge and under the tree to create a shadow.
Stamped the gears twice with Basic Black ink.
Added White Gel pen hightlights to the tree and a few dots in the grassy area.
Layered the main image panel with a Dusty Durango Panel, Bashful Blue Panel and Basic Black Panel. Stamped the top of the tree at the bottom of the Black panel with White Craft (Pigment) ink.
Added Sakura Souffle pens in Orange and light blue to some of the leaves.
Added another Bashful Blue Panel and Basic Black panel. Here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May we all slow down for a moment today and just enjoy life.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Huge Hugs,
Michelle
