One More Slimline Card


I hope you have enjoyed the Impression Obsession Slimline release hop, and found some inspiration on the design team's cards.  These stamps are so amazing.  They make it easy to create quick and easy scenes.  We have been having so much fun creating with them.  
 
IO Stamps/Die Links:
 
How I made it:
  • On a card stock panel, using my Misti, I stamped two parts of the Tree Line Layers images with dark gray ink, to give them the appearance of being in the distance, and a bit muted because of the sunset.
  • Without reinking the images, I stamped them upside down under the hills I had created to get a faint reflection.
  • With stencil brushes, I brushed on wild honey and tumbled glass distress inks, building up intensity slowly for smooth blending.
  • I used similar color pencils to create ripples for the water.
  • In the foreground, I stamped the top of the Norway Spruce, to make the scene appear further back as though looking into it. 
  • I cut the Peace DIE from white card stock, and added it.
  • INSIDE:  I stamped the scene as for the front, then added the Someone Cares verse.

Card One:
Stamps:
 
How I made it:
  • I used a rubber brayer with distress inks to add blue and coral to the sky, and to the water.  Before adding the color, I created a circle mask for the moon and used temporary tape to hold it in place.  I used colored pencil to add faint ripples to the water.
  • I inked the Tree Lined hillside stamp with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and used a Misti to stamp it onto a card panel.  I repeated until I got complete coverage.
  • Without reinking, I flipped the card and stamped the image again for the water 'reflection.
  • I stamped the verse from the Warm Fuzzies Sentiments Set onto a scrap piece of cs, cut it out and added it to the card front.
  • I layered and added the panel to a slimline card front. 

Card Two:
Stamps:
 
How I made it:
  • I white embossed the Bare Treeline stamp onto a white panel.  I also stamped it with shaded lilac distress ink.
  • With distress inks and blending brushes, I added color over the images to create a soft background and sky.
  • I stamped the Thinking of You verse onto a scrap and added it to the panel along with some shimmery fiber.  I added the piece to a white slimline card front. 
That's it.  I hope you have enjoyed our inspiration for this fabulous release!  Don't forget to leave a comment here and on the other designer's blogs for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession Store!

IO Stamps:
 
How I made it:
  • I inked the Tree Lined Hillside slimline stamp with distress mini ink pads in fall colors.  I did this in my Misti, so that I could get the different colors and depth that I desired.  I kept adding colors, and dabbing with a waterbrush with a tad of water a couple of times to bring out the intensity of the hues.
  • I added the sky using iBrush ink applicators with the A Colorful Life Designs Cloud Edger stencil.
  • I stamped the To Everything verse, and layered the panel, and added it to a slimline card front.
  • INSIDE:  

 
 
Card Two: 
 
Stamps:
 
How I made it:
  • I stamped the Mountain Layers using distress inks in my Misti.  I added color gradually until I achieved my desired intensity and color on each layer of the mountains. 
  • I stamped the Tree Line Layers with distress inks along the bottom of the card using distress inks, repeating as necessary for depth.
  • I added the panel to a slimline card front, and added the Happy Birthday die from the Greetings Top Edgers Dies die set.
  • INSIDE: 
    I hope you are enjoying the hop with these fabulous new slimline stamps.  We are having so much fun with them!
