I’m feeling a bit foggy today, not enough sleep, allergies kicking in.  That could be why I picked to do a foggy scene, lol.  In real life, this looks a bit more foggier (is that a word?).  🙂

Photographing cards in the wee hours of the morning, when it is pitch black out, is a little difficult, but that is when I do my stamping and posting to this blog, so the photos are what they are.  Thanks for understanding!

Well let’s get on with this foggy tutorial. 🙂

Supplies:

Stamped tree image by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then loading it with River Rock ink before stamping.  Stamped it on a 4.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Heat embossed it using fine detail clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamp the tree again using Versamark only, no ink.

Heat embossed it using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the tree a third time by loading the stamp with Versamark and then Lake Mist ink before stamping.

Heat embossed it using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered on River Rock ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Brayered on Bordering Blue at the top of the card stock, leaving a light area showing between the River Rock and the Bordering Blue ink.  This gives a foggy look to the piece.

Stamped Flourish with Bordering Blue ink at the right and bottom sides of the card stock.

Sponged Not Quite Navy ink at the top and right side of the card stock.

Sponged Always Artichoke ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Assembled card from and stamped the flourish again, only this time stamping it with Not Quite Navy ink.   Note:  When stamping over layers of card stock you will get gaps in your image.  Be sure to stamp in a color that you have a matching marker for so you can fill in those gaps.

Filled in the gaps in the flourish image with a Not Quite Navy Marker.

Assembled card and here it is finished measuring 6.5″ x 5″.

Hope your day is filled with sunshine to take away any fog that may be around.  🙂

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . .
