-Stamp the images and I masked off the lower portion of the card so the line on the tree image would not show on this card.
-Tear a piece of paper in half; cover the sky portion of the card and sponge on the grass, switch pieces of paper, add a ½” punched circle for sun (post it note) and sponge on the sky and do some streaking with the orange.
-I heat embossed the flourishes with clear powder; this shows up much better in real life and gives a nice texture to the card without disturbing the scene.
-I inked up the background image using an ink pad but not completely covering the rubber so areas would be left bare.
-Ink distressing is done on the image panel and yellow edge.
-Stampin Up ticket punch the corners, add the brads, tool distress the bards and itÂ’s finished.

Another real beauty Rox. The background is stunning and your design has such depth it's almost like 3-D. Super coloring.
