Hickory smoke distress ink and oxide.

Step 1.

Using a 15 by 21 cm piece of multifarious card, gently blend hickory Smoke distress ink onto the card, using a blending tool.

Step 2.

Using hickory smoke oxide and makeup brush, gently rub over stencil with a makeup brush.

Step 3

Cut card down to 15cm square. Then using White orbs stencil gently rub over stencil randomly, making some areas darker than others, with a makeup brush. 

Step 4

Take a piece of torn paper, a make up brush and hickory smoke oxide, brush down towards the base to give you a ground area.

Step 5

Place stamps onto your background, to see where you think they should go. Place onto a stamping platform, then stamp with jet black archival ink.

 Step 6

Leaving card and stamps on platform, re-ink with versafine black onyx ink, then emboss with clear embossing powder. (removed stamps for picture.)

Step 7

Stamp tree branch with versafine ink, then emboss with clear embossing powder, use a fine paintbrush to brush embossing powder from owl.

Step 8

Using an acrylic block, stamp tree branch with versafine ink, using first and second generation stamping at top of card.  

Step 9

Place a 6cm circle mask, over the center of the of the card then brush around edge with hickory smoke distress ink, to give the effect of a moon. Highlight tree branches, owl, rabbit and field grass with a stardust pen.

Step 10

Place stamps over the images, using thinned down white acrylic paint and a fan brush gently flick white paint onto card, remove stamps and put a little paint onto owl and rabbit. Then sprinkle the new fairy-tales Eco-glitter onto card while paint is still wet. Mount onto black and white mats then mount onto 8” card. 

Good luck with your entries.

take care, stay safe.
