Taking each 2” wide strip of Basic White card I tore down the top edge and used the same Blending Brush to add Pool Party to the torn edge. The 1” wide strip was then glued to one of the 2” strips. This piece was added to the inked panel with Dimensionals along the bottom edge. The excess card was the trimmed off on each side. I added Liquid Adhesive to the remaining torn strip and tucked it under the raised piece.

The sentiment was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink onto the ‘sky’. I masked off part of the sentiment each time so that I could stack the words. The ‘snow’ was stamped in the ‘sky’ using second generation Pool Party ink.

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing torn paper techniques.

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Misty Moonlight Two Tone card – 5½” by 3¾”
Thoughtful Journey dsp – 5¼” by 2¾”

I then carefully tore a strip down the centre of the card to just over half-way. Using a Bone Folder I curved the loose middle section and carefully rolled it up gluing it in place with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Colour was then added to the sky and the ground using Blending Brushes and Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green ink. To give more texture to ground I stamped the ‘water’ image from the Scenic Adventure stamp set using second generation Granny Apple Green ink. The whole panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel which was then added to the Basic Beige card front.
