My main panel is 2 7/8” square before borders.
Stamp the mountains in tan, then the cactus and fill in land area by rubbing the black direct to paper across the cardstock. I masked off the mountains where the sun will go just using post it notes, no cutting. The sun is stamped using a stamp positioner in light yellow with the darker color streaked across the rubber. Stamp again in VersaMark for a resist.
Brayer over the panel with light yellow then I used the aqua painter and VersaMark to go over the mountain area and a little around the sun. Brayer with the darker color and when I brayer I just went across the panel about two to three times, one direction. I used the aqua painter again to go over the mountain area and lighten it up by just removing some ink.
For under the brads I punched 1/16” then using the ¼” I lined it up as even as possible and punched. This goes on the brad before it goes through the card.
Black stitching is done on the machine.

Some pretty nifty tricks on this, Rox. Gotta know how you got your machine to stitch like that--loosen the tension?? That awesome sunset in the desert makes me break out in a sweat--looks so real!!
