Starting out with a 4.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Mask a little under half of the bottom of the card stock with a post it note.

Brayered on Bashful Blue ink at the top of the card stock.

Brayered on Brilliant Blue ink not covering the Bashful blue ink entirely.

Sponged Brilliant Blue ink at the top of the card stock very heavily to create some drama in the sky.

Sponged a bit of Black ink at the edge of the Post it Note mask to create a couple of hills in the distance.

Removed Post it note Mask.

Masked Sky area with a clean Post it Note.

Brayered on Barely Banana ink on the unmasked section of the card stock.

Tore a piece of post it note in a triangle shape to mask a section to create a road.  This is an experiment, I have not tried this before.  The sticky part of the Post it note is at the bottom of the card stock.

Brayered on More Mustard ink.

Removed triangle post it note, but left the post it note that is masking the sky on.

Sponged More Mustard ink in the middle of the Road.

Sponged Close to Cocoa ink in the middle of the road and the bottom of the card stock, not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.

Sponged Chocolate Chip ink at the very bottom of the card stock.

Took the Post it Note off of the Sky.

Colored in the middle tree with a black marker, huffed on it and stamped it.

dsc05452.JPG

Colored in the two trees on the right side of the stamp with a black marker, huffed on it and stamped it to the left of the first tree I stamped.

dsc05453.JPG

Sponged a bit of black ink under and to the left side of the trees to create a shadow.

dsc05454.JPG

Used my corner rounder punch on two corners of my main image panel and the Brilliant Blue panel that will go under it.

dsc05455.JPG

Stamped two hinges on with Basic Black ink and colored them in a bit with a gray marker.

dsc05456.JPG

dsc05457.JPG

Assembled card, added a gold brad to each hinge and then stamped my sentiment using Basic Black ink.

Here you have it, the conclusion of tutorial #100 with the finished card measuring 5.25″ x 5.25″.

    Happy One Hundreth Tutorial!!! Beautiful creation which I am sure I will incorporate some of these techniques in the very near future. We always ask you for something so I thought I’d ask you, is there something we can do for you??? I live in dread that you may decide one day you don’t want to do this anymore and I would be heart broken if that happened. You’ve become a part of the beginning of each of my days. I’m off to work now but when I get home, I’m making me a road card!!!

    Congrats on your 100th tutorital! Another wonderful card I love! I agree with Phyllis, I too live in fear you will stop these wonderful tutorials. It would be a horrible day for me too, since your art keeps me going! I think Stampin Up should just give you your supplies! I think I will e-mail them and make that suggestion. Or maybe I will just send you mine, since I can’t do anything much with them!
    Thank you for the your kindness of sharing another Great Card with us!

    Both cards are awesome! I have a playdate every Wednesday with a friend and I think we’ll be doing Lovely as a tree as well as the palm tree. I just have one question. How do you do the foam of the water. When I use my gel pen it just stands out so much, it doesn’t look like foam its more in your face bright markings on the card, LOL. I’ve tried several of your beach scenes with foam and would love to know how you do it. Thank you so much for the tutorials I’ve learned something from every one of them!!

    Oh Michelle!!! Just when I think you’ve topped yourself, you do it again!! Creativity must just seep from your pores! Definitely going to try this card I am getting better with my brayer, still no expert, but I am starting to love a tool I seldom used before! I shared one of your techniques with my stamp club and they are wanting to do more! Imagine that? Can any of us get enough of the Zindorf technique? I don’t think so! Thanks so much for all you do online!

    Congratulations! I said yesterday that I could hardly wait for the 100th tutorial. This is just so striking. Thank you again. I have printed off several of the tutorials so I have them right in front of me as I try to recreate your techniques. Would love to be able to attend a class but too far away.
    Thank you so much for all the time you put into uploading your tutorials.

  13. First of all, Michelle, Happy 100th!!! Your artistic spirit and generosity are flowing today. This card is a showstopper! I love the complementary colors. And this road is so intriguing too…like where does it lead? Your scene is like a lovely book waiting to be opened, and your sentiment was placed exactly right at the apex of the road. Billowing clouds, a skyscape, and an open road calling. Awesome.
