Category: On the Horizon

The technique I want to share with you today is a version of the SEPIA COLOURING TECHNIQUE.

For this technique I decided to use Cinnamon Cider for the water colouring step.

The first step was to stamp the timber planks image from the On the Horizon Stamp Set using the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink. They were stamped onto a piece of Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper.

The water colour paper was then taped down onto a piece of cardboard. I painted water across the paper before water colouring it.

After it dried , I trimmed the paper down and started adding the other images and elements.

I stamped the tree image three times. Then I used Versamark and white embossing powder to add the grass and birds to the water coloured panel.

Before attaching this panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front, I wrapped and tied a length of Evening Evergreen twine from the Fan Baker’s Twine pack.

When the stamped panel was added to the card base, I cut one of the fence shapes using the Horizon Dies. The Basic Black gate had some Adhesive Sheet attached and this made it quite easy to attach it to the card.

The greeting, from the On the Horizon Stamp Set, was stamped in Cinnamon Cider on to a piece of Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper. I cut it down to 3/4″ and then used the Banners Pick a Punch to create a banner at one end.

THe final step was to add one of the Pebbles Enamel Shapes near the fence.

Phew – now I am back on schedule. Tomorrow I will have a project for this week’s Global Design Project.

Until then, happy stamping.
