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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

    Congratulations on your 100 tutorials. I will be looking forward to the next 100+!

    For quite a few years, I have bought paper from Marco’s when they have a booth at the MN State Fair Stamp Expo. I love the quality of their paper and the reasonable prices. They also have someone demonstrating some interesting technique at the front table. I would love for you to should join them on their next trip to MN.

    I wish I could join the class in Ohio. Have a fun time.

    WOW 100 Tutorials! What a marvelous milestone! Congratulations. By the way, thank you very much for the blog candy. I received it today! I also had a chance to look at the new SU catty. As I was looking through, I was thinking, now which of these would work for the Zindorf technique? Would you let us in your ideas/favourites??
    I have a long list, Fresh Cuts, Upsy Daisy, Inspired by Nature, Nature Silhouettes to name a few.
    Thanks for sharing all 100!
