Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors!

This is the theme of the

Eureka! Stamps Challenge

this week. Be sure to check out the particulars on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

I decided to use 2 images from

Eureka! Stamps

"Lg Tree" (#15302) and

"Leaf Background" (#26901)

I used VersaFine ink for the background image.

I stamped it onto white card stock,

then stamped it again on another piece of card stock.

The second stamping is what I used on these cards.

I wanted it to be a little more subtle.

I then cut a circle from a piece of very light weight paper.

I laid the paper over the background image

and inked the circle with Distress ink. 

Then I stamped the tree image onto the circle.

This panel was then adhered to a card base

that had been inked with the same

Distress ink colors as the circle.

This second card I used the same technique,

but once I had inked the green circle,

I took away the mask and replace it

with the circle that had been cut out

and inked around the circle with yellow Distress ink.

I wanted to give a kind of bright yellow sunny feel to the background.

My daughter likes the second card better,

but I kind of like the first one.

What do you think?

Leave a comment and let me know.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Maybe to try a new technique,

try some inking

or just to participate in the challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
