-Stamp the horse image, mask off the sky area with a torn piece of paper and just rub the black ink pad onto the cardstock. The grass image is stamped on for added interest to the landscape.
-Sponging is done for the background sky area, the marigold goes on first then I punched a circle and masked off the sun and sponged on the teal.
-Last step for the image is to ink up the grid image, stamp it off and then lay the image panel on the rubber and rub all around the edge and walk the fingers through the center area to vary the ink coverage.
-Piercing and faux stitches.
-Ink distressing for the some edges but what touches the image panel.
-ItÂ’s cut strips of cardstock not layers. I mounted on a white card base.
I notice a saddle on the horse and just wondered ‘where did the rider go?’ Hope he’s okay! LOL!
