A Mountain Scene piece of home decor made using the Scenic Adventures stamp set from Stampin' Up! with an ink blending technique

Inked Background Mountain Scene – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing background techniques. I am sharing a piece of home décor created using ink blending and inspired by a card made by Michelle Zindorf.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the inked background mountain scene, you will need:

Basic White card – 6½” by 4½”
Frame – 7” by 5”

 

Using a 2½” Circle Punch from my stash I punched a mask from a Post It Note. I placed the mask on the Basic White panel, slightly above the middle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the entire panel with the mask in position. Next, I added Summer Splash ink to the top and bottom of the panel leaving a rim around the mask and a strip of plain Pool Party across the masked area from the middle to near the bottom of the mask.

Azure Afternoon ink was then added, again leaving some of the Pool Party and Summer Splash ink visible and finished with a covering of Night of Navy ink concentrating in all four corners, along the top and the bottom. The mask was then removed.

A piece of Post It note was then placed about ⅓ of the way up the moon from the bottom. A second Post It note was then torn into a jagged pattern before being applied to the top ⅓ of the moon. I used Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush to create mountains in the gap between the Post It notes. The jagged mask was then removed.

With the straight Post It note still in position I stamped a tree onto the inked panel with the bottom of the tree on the mask. I repeated this step to add the remaining trees before removing the Post It note.

I placed a piece of cellophane over the stamped trees with a sliver of the bottom showing. I inked up the trees again, stamped off on scrap paper and stamped a tree below and at the same approximate height as the full-strength tree above to provide a reflection. The cellophane was then removed.

I lightly added a little Pool Party ink to the ‘moon’ to make it less blindingly white and stamped the dotty image from the Coneflower Celebration stamp set with Whisper White ink to add stars to the sky. A white gel pen added texture to the wate.

A fault line card made using the Painted Lavender stamp set and dies with the Perennial Lavender designer series paper (dsp) from Stampin' Up!

Fault Line Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects featuring tearing techniques. I have seen lots of ‘fault line’ cards and thought I would give it a try using the Perennial Lavender dsp.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the fault line card, you will need:

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4” by 3⅝”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 4” by 3⅝” x 2 – one patterned and the other plainer
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Shaded Spruce card

 

I began by taking the plainer piece of designer series paper (dsp) and tore it at an angle from side to side. The larger of the 2 pieces was the torn again from side to side. I wanted the white core of the patterned paper to show on both pieces hence having to tear it twice. These pieces were then glued to the top and bottom of the patterned piece dsp leaving a wide strip of the pattern visible. The overhanging dsp was then trimmed off.

This step was repeated with the 4” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card. This time I lined up the dsp on my Grid Paper and the torn panels adhered to the top and bottom until the whole piece measured 5⅜”.
