Tore some post it notes to mask the sky area, the road and the pond.  Leave the sticky part of the post it note on your mask.

Removed masks.

Inked my tree stamp up, but only put ink on the trees, not the ground portion of the stamp.

Stamped the trees.  See how they do not have trunks.

Put the trunks of the trees in with a black marker.

Sponged some really rust ink around the road and the pond to soften the hard lines.

Sponged More Mustard ink heavily at the top of the sky and sponged some More Mustard ink on the road and the pond.

Held a piece of card stock on for a mask and stamped the very tips of the tree stamp at the bottom of the pond to look like brush.

Assembled the main image panel with some simple black and More Mustard panels and here you have the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I hope the tutorial has inspired you to see what objects you can put in your scenes using torn post it notes.

May your day be golden!

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

    Michelle,
    I don’t think you have any idea how much you inspire me with your art work. It’s one of the highlights of my day when I see your name pop up as I think – OOOOH OOOH What has she created today…and then “Voila”, there’s another creative card. I love to take in the whole creative process step by step through your tutorials. Thanks for being the bright spot in my day today!

    I can never get enough of this set, it is my favorite. Every card you make with this set are outstanding! The colors you choose today are beautiful together. I like how you created a pond and used the tops of the trees for brush. Thanks for the great tutorial.

    I love the colors!!! I have tried one of your witch in the sky tutorials tackling only the sponging technique. I was very pleased with the outcome. I cannot wait to try the brayer method, although I am a little intimidated ;). Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us.

    I love the warmth of this card. The night before you did this tutorial I was trying to come up with a “warm” card. I came up with nothing, but yours is gorgeous! Great timing on your part. 🙂
