Just Swinging – Tutorial #482

Hey There,

I’m knee deep in packing for my trip to LAS VEGAS BABY!    I leave Friday, I hope Las Vegas is ready for me. . . .   I’m super excited about this trip since Las Vegas is one of the places I haven’t made it to yet in the whirl wind traveling career I have.   Not to mention, I get to teach some awesome stampers how to brayer and create using some other technique tricks I have up my sleeve.

I needed a bit of a break from packing so I sat down and created this project for your enjoyment, please give it a try.  It features the sweet set Forever Young.  This stamp goes with brayering especially well.

Let’s get started. . . . .

Die cut a 3.75″ circle using the Big Shot Machine and Whisper White card stock.

brayered Daffodil Delight ink on one side of the card stock.

Brayered Pumpkin Pie ink on the other side of the card stock.   I don’t show it here, but I brayered a little Cajun Craze at the bottom of the Pumpkin Pie side.

Stamped the image using Basic Black ink.

Sponged Old Olive ink at the bottom of the card stock.  Make sure you image is dry before doing this step or you will risk smearing the black ink, not pretty.

Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the card stock, not covering the Old Olive ink entirely.

Added White Gel Pen highlights to the tree and also added a bit of grasses.

Added a 5.25″ square Basic Black panel, 5″ square Design Series Paper Panel, 4 3/8″ square Peach Parfait panel, (2) 2″ x 4 1/8 Basic Black panels, 4 small Peach Parfait Punches, 2 Black and 2 Old Olive Large hearts.

Added 2 Basic Black brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May your day be totally awesome!

Until my next post. . . . . . .
