This is for two challenges. WT320 Boy oh Boy and F4A62 to use lots of layers. I wan'ted to play in the F4A challenge yesterday because I love making cards with this old retired SU set called Little Boys. There are three images in the set and they are all adorable. I decided to create my layers from the inside out instead of the other way around. My first layer is the tree and sky, the second is the fence layer that I cut out with a craft knife. The third, fourth and fifth are the three layers of graduated frame and finally thesixth is the little boys playing pirate in the back yard.
The tree trrunk was sketched on watercolor paper using a waterproof artist pen and the top was sponged on then filled in with my mini fern image from my Outdoor Master. The sky was slightly sponged with blue ink. I sponged in ground area on the second layer of watercolor paper and then I sketched the fence, painted and cut out the fence sections with a craft knife. I wanted the tree and background to show through the fence posts. I created the frame using three graduated Nestabilities dies. The little boys image was stamped using Versafine Black and watercolord with reinkers mixed with water. I love how cute the boys look popped up on the crimped frame and the dimension they create with the scene in behind them.
