Fenced View – Tutorial & Convention Shopping

Happy Sunday Everyone! 

I didn’t get a chance to post on Saturday due to the Stamp Away USA, Stamp Convention that was held in Sharonville, OH at the Convention Center.  This was my first time attending one of these stamp conventions and man oh man, can a Gal get into lots of trouble at one of these things. 

Below is a picture of my purchases and believe me I wanted just about everything, but I set a limit for myself before I went and only took that much in cash with me and left my credit cards at home.  That turned out to be a smart move on my part, lol.  I think I made wiser choices too.

The day was so enjoyable, Karen Barber let me drag her along on the road trip and I also met a few of you blog readers 🙂  A big hello to Colleen and her friends and to Priscilla.

Today’s tutorial was created with one of the stamps I purchased.  By the way this is tutorial number 99.  If you would like to see the other 98 tutorials check out the tab at the top of my blog that reads “all my tutorials”.

So let’s get started.  🙂

Supplies:

Brayered Baja Breeze ink at the top of a 5.5″ x 4.2″ piece of Whisper White Card stock.

Brayered Kiwi Kiss ink at the bottom half of the card stock.

Tore through the sticky part of two post it notes and used them to mask the ground portion of the card stock.

Sponged Baja Breeze ink at the torn edge of the card stock to create a horizon line and to put in a couple of mountain shapes.

Right at the torn edge of the post it notes sponged in Not Quite Navy to darken the horizon line so it would really stand out.

Removed post it note masks and sponged Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the card stock to create a more dramatic sky.

Sponged Old Olive ink at the bottom of the card stock to create some depth in the foreground.

Stamp my new “Stamp by Judith T-40” with Basic Black ink.

Colored the rocks with a Going Gray maker.

Colored the tree trunk with a Chocolate Chip marker.

Colored the fence posts with a Close to Cocoa marker.

Colored the tops of the fence posts with a Creamy Caramel marker.  Also created a shadows for the tree and fence post with the Creamy Caramel marker.

Colored the flowers in with a white gel pen.

Colored the flower stems with an Old Olive maker.

Added some Close to Cocoa to the center of my tree and fence post shadows.

Sponged Note Quite Navy ink on the edge of my Kiwi Kiss card stock panel.

Assembled card and here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

Hope you enjoyed this country scene and will give it a try.

May your day be filled with soft scenery and daisies!

Until my next post. . . . . . . . .
