Let’s Go Camping – Tutorial #447

23 Comments


If you have an outdoors man or woman for that matter on your card list this card may be for you. 
Today’s card is using a large main image panel (4.5″ x 6″) so it doesn’t leave much room for bling.   But with a great scene you don’t want bling, right?  I know some of you are gasping right now, lol.  But really, you don’t want to distract your viewer’s attention with a bunch of bling when you have created a panel this large.

 
I currently have dough rising.   I’m in the process of making homemade Broccoli, cheese and ham calzones so I must get moving.  With that being said, let’s get started on today’s tutorial. . . .  . . .
Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Loads of Fun, Lovely as A Tree, Season of Friendship and Word Play
Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Old Olive and Basic Black
Ink: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy and Cajun Craze
Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponges, heat gun, clear embossing powder, brayer, Versamark pad and marker, Markers (Old Olive, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Bashful Blue and Basic Black), 1 3/4″ circle and 1″ square punches, post it notes, gold brads, White gel pen
Techniques: Brayering, masking

Started with a 4.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock.  Loaded my Camper stamp with Versamark and then Basic Black ink before I stamped it.  Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.


Colored the camper in using Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Basic Black and Sahara Sand markers.



Went over the bottom area of the Bashful Blue again using the Bashful Blue marker to create a sense of roundness to the camper.   Also colored over the slated bottom of the camper using the Sahara Sand marker again to create a darker tone of that color.



Colored over the entire camper using a Versamark marker and then heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.  This was done to protect the image from future ink applications.


Added a 1 3/4″ circle punch Post it note and a post it note with a hill ripped in it.



Brayered Daffodil Delight ink at the bottom of the unmasked area.  Be sure to wipe any ink off of the embossed image using a paper towel any time you go over it with ink.



Brayered Cajun Craze ink at the bottom of the unmasked area, not covering the Daffodil Delight ink entirely.



Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the card stock.



Brayered Night of Navy ink at at the top of the card stock,  not covering the Not Quite Navy ink entirely.



Removed the sun mask and sponged Daffodil Delight ink in the center of it.

Stamped the Lovely As A Tree Pine using Basic Black ink.  Stamped the image 3 times.

Stamped the Season of Friendship tree using Basic Black ink.  Wiped the ink off of my embossed image.

Stamped the leaves using Old Olive ink.

Added Basic Black ink leaves.

Removed the hill mask and sponged Old Olive ink on it.

Sponged Basic Black ink at the base of the hill.

Added White Gel Pen highlights to the leaves, back of camper, windows and made little strokes with the pen to create grasses.

Toned down the highlighted leave by going over them with an Old Olive marker.

Stamped the Word Play Sentiment using Whisper White ink.

Added a few White Gel pen dots in the sky for stars.

Added an Old Olive Panel, 4 – 1″ Basic Black square punches on the corners of the Old Olive Panel.  Added a Basic Black panel and 4 gold brads to the corners of the main image panel.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May you breath fresh air today.

Until my next post.. . .  .

Hugs,

Michelle

Hey All,

Here is a little reflection number for you using a stamp from the up and coming Stampin’ Up!

Let’s get started. . . . .

Brayered Tempting Turquoise at the top and bottom of a 3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top and bottom of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise entirely.

Stamped the image from the soon to be released Stampin’ Up! set “Always Thankful” using Basic Black ink.   Also created the reflection image by stamping the image with Basic Black ink on a Stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet and then flipping the sheet over and rubbing the back side of the plastic to transfer it onto the card stock.

Masked the bottom of the card stock and sponged Old Olive ink at the post it note edge creating the ground.

  4. Bake in 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 1 hour until bread tests done. Cool for 10 minutes. Turn loaf out of pan to cool on rack. Wrap. Cut in thin slices and spread with butter.

Now for a funny, lol.

HOW TO BE GRACIOUS

       Jennifer’s wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen
  her excitement – not even her parent’s nasty divorce.
 
       Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the
  best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!
 
       A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father’s
  new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!
 
        Jennifer asked her father’s new young wife to exchange it, but she
  refused.  ”Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress,
  and I’m wearing it,” she replied.
 
       Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ”Never mind
  sweetheart. I’ll get another dress. After all, it’s your special day.”
 
       A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another
  gorgeous dress for her mother.
 
        When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ”Aren’t
  you going to return the other dress? You really don’t have another
  occasion where you could wear it.”
 
        Her mother just smiled and replied, ”Of course I do, dear…..I’m
  wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night BEFORE the wedding.”

       (NOW I ASK YOU – IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO  WOULDN’T ENJOY THIS STORY?)


Women are Angels.
 And when someone breaks our wings….
 We simply continue to fly ……… on a broomstick….. We are flexible….

Die cut a Top Note from Whisper White card stock using my Big Shot Machine.

Stamped the plant images using Basic Black ink and heat embossed them using clear embossing powder.

Using a sponge, applied Versamark lightly where I want my wave to be in the scene.  Heat embossed the Versamark using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.   Note:  When you put the embossing powder on you can lightly remove some of it until it looks like what you want before heating it.

Brayered Marina Mist ink on the card stock.  Now you can see where the embossed Versamark is.  🙂

Ripped a post it note and used it as a mask to create my rocks.

Sponged the unmasked area of the card stock using Marina Mist ink.

Smeared Pacific Point ink on the card stock (Direct to paper technique) from the left side of the card stock to the right, lightly.  Leave some of the Marina Mist ink showing through.

Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock.  Buffed the embossed parts of the card stock with a paper towel to remove any excess ink that may be on it.

Cut a 5″ square Whisper White card stock panel and Sponged Marina Mist around the edges.  Distressed edges of the card stock using Basic Black ink.  Also distress the edges of the top note using Basic Black ink.

Assembled the card by adding a 5.5″ square Basic Black panel, 5.25″ square Pacific Point panel, Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Black and Pacific Point photo corner punches and Rhinestone brads.

A Day In The Country – Tutorial #431

18 Comments

Hello, hope all is well with you.  Things are busy as usual here, but all is well. 

I have a fun scene for you today.  I live in a rural area and this is a scene that I often get to see in person.  Farms, fields, animals, love it!  The banner at the top of my blog is a photo of a pastel painting I created of the farm directly across the road from my house.  I truly love living in a home that is surrounded by farms.  I get to enjoy the country life without having to work a farm.  🙂  Anyhow, today’s tutorial uses brayering along with the emboss resist technique.  This is a great way to get light colored images in front of dark backgrounds.  It also makes it possible to get depth in your scenes.

Let’s get started. . . .  . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Farm Life, Inspired by Nature
Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black
Ink: Stampin’ Up! Whiper White, Basic Black, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze and So Saffron
Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponge, paper snips, Markers (Basic Black, So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake), Ticket Corner Punch, Old Olive Brads, Post it notes, Brayer, Clear embossing powder, heat gun, paper towel

Colored my Stampin’ Up! Farm Life stamp in with a Versamark marker and then with a Basic Black marker before stamping it on a 3″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.   I did not color the clouds on the stamp.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Colored the right side of the barn and silo using a Sahara Sand marker.  Colored the roofs, twice using the same Sahara Sand marker, letting the marker dry in between coats.  This gives you a darker color.

Colored the hay bales using a So Saffron marker.

Added Crumb Cake marker to the base of the hay bales.

Colored the trees and bushes using a Certainly Celery marker.

Colored over the embossed images (be very careful to stay within the lines) using a Versamark marker.  Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun to protect the images.

Now that my images are embossed I can brayer over them.

Brayered So Saffron ink at the top of the card stock.

Ripped the edge off of a couple of post it notes and used them to mask the sky area of my scene.

Brayered Cajun Craze ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Removed the mask and gently wiped my embossed images off with a paper towel.

Added Certainly Celery marker to the horizon line.

Stamped the Wheat Stamp using Chocolate Chip ink.

Stamped the Wheat stamp a bit lower using Basic Black ink.

I wanted a bit more drama in the sky area so I brayered More Mustard ink right at the top of the card stock.

Sponged Basic Black ink on the edges of the card stock.

Stamped the stampin’ Up Inspired by Nature Stamp using Whisper White ink on Basic Black card stock.  Cut the images out with Stampin’ Up Paper Snip scissors.

Added a Basic Black panel, Pear Pizzazz panel and a Whisper White Panel.  Used the Stampin’ Up! Ticket Corner punch on the Whisper White panel and the Main Image panel.  Adhered the cut our flowers to the front of the card stock.  Added white Gel Pen highlights to the flowers.

Added a strip of Basic Black card stock and 2 Old Olive brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be filled with peace and sunshine.

Until my next post. . . .  . .

Hugs,

Michelle
