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.

The line of trees was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut rectangle. I punched a circle from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch and added it above the tree line. I masked all 4 sides of the rectangle using Post It Notes and added Boho Blue ink to the top of the panel with a Blending Brush and Mossy Meadow ink to the bottom.

The tree trunks were coloured with an Early Espresso Water-colored Pencil. I added colour to the bushes with a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil. The canopy of the trees was coloured using both the Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive Water-coloured Pencils. The coloured panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I flagged the end of ⅜” strips of Old Olive, Basic White and Early Espresso card and tucked them under the raised image.

The sentiment, from the Delicate Forest stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Boho Blue ink. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front. A trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Glossy Dots finished the card.

Using Blending Brushes I added Pool Party ink above the tree line to create the ‘sky’. Lost Lagoon ink was the added with a Blending Brush to the top edges to add depth. The ‘ground’ was added with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow inks, again using Blending Brushes. The whole piece was then glued to the layer of Basic Black card.
