I started by cutting a panel of kraft card stock down to an A2 sized panel. I started with my ink blending, using my blending brushes for the appropriate color. I loved the affect of blending on kraft cardstock. It sort of mutes the colors and I love the feeling of that.
I started with Aged Mahogany at the top, and worked my way down to Crackling Campfire, wild Honey and finished with Antiqued Linen. By cutting this into a circle, I did loose most of the Aged Mahogany and the Antiqued Linen color.
Once I was done with the blend, I grabbed the stamp set and used Gink K Amalgam ink to stamp it. I started with the largest stamp that includes the main scene, and after a few stamping attempts, I noticed that the color just wasn’t getting dark enough for me, so I stamped it one more time (after a few other times) and then sprinkled it with the Brutus Monroe Raven Embossing powder to make it dark. I liked the softness of the black before adding the powder, so I kept the clouds and birds (which are a separate stamp) with just using the black ink.
When I had my scene built, I wanted to create a spot light technique (which you can hardly tell, but in the bottom left hand of the circle you can see the ghosting). So I used a circle die and cut my panel to the circle size I wanted, making sure to hang off on the right side to give us the straight edge. This adds some interest as well as this will help in lining up the die for the spotlight technique.
I grabbed a A2 panel from my cut stash and added it to my MISTI. I then placed my circle panel with a little tape runner on the back to hold it in place. I then lined up the stamp set using the circle panel, and then when it was lined up I removed the circle and stamped the set using the Fog Ink. I splattered the white panel with Tonic Nuvo Mica Mist, added the circle with foam tape and finished it with a hand cut sentiment from the stamp set!
