Autumn Thoughts – Tutorial #464

Hey There,

Happy Halloween!   I hope you are enjoying your Autumn Season.

I’ve been hanging out cooking and filling my freezer with freezer meals.  I put over 50 meals in the freezer in the past few days.  It is now well stocked and all Russ and I have to do is pull something out and bake it or put it in the crock pot.  All the real work is done.  Feels good having so much done and saving money in the long run because we were able to buy in bulk, grin.

A little about today’s project.  The Stampin’ Up! Thoughts & Prayers Tree is so lovely.  Don’t you think it is a beautiful image?  LOL, of course I haven’t met a tree stamp that I didn’t like.  If you read this blog regularly, you know that already.

This tutorial is all about layering the moutains and highlights.  Hang out and check it out.

Sponged Wisteria Wonder ink on to create the mountains.

Ripped a different pattern in the post it note and put it on to create the second layer of mountains.

Sponged Rich Razzel berry ink on for the second mountains and colored over the trunk of the tree with a Chocolate Chip marker.

Added a little bit of Cherry Cobbler marker to some of the leaves on the tree.

Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock and distressed the edges of the panel with Basic Black ink.

Added Whisper White ribbon.

Added Three panels, 2 Rich Razzel Berry and 1 More Mustard.  The measurements are in the photo.

Added a few White Gel pen highlights to some of the leaves and a highlight down the right side of the trunk.
