I haven't used this set for a long time. Last night I used it for the LSC97 challenge and had such a great time I had to use it again. I decided to mask the two main images together in a garden scene. I got the dirt area a little too dark so I had to go over the basket image some with my brown artist pen to pull it out a little. I also used the artist pen to add more rough and rusted marks on the water pitcher. I stamped the images with brown stazon and then painted everything with reinkers. I used a delicate, small watercolor brush to paint in the grassy patches around the basket and pitcher and then all along the ground border. I used a small sponge dauber to sponge on creamy caramel ink for the base dirt color. I added some chocolate chip and regular brown ink with the sponge and then used brown ink with IBB stamp to create a texctured look for the dirt. I sponged Barely Banana along the grass border to brighten up the scene and then used my cloud template and sponged Bashful Blue for the sky.
I aged the top and bottom of the scene with my deckle scissors and then pulled along the edge of the Mustard ink pad.
