God Writes The Gospel...

Here is another image being released today at Cornish Heritage Farms, Asela's "Row of Trees".

I had stamped it the other day and thought of cherry blossoms and flowering trees, so tried to color it with that in mind. When Rox posted the sketch challenge on SCS it was perfect!

Then some of us girls were discussing 'tree' sentiments to go with the trees...one thing led to another and I was caught up in the Quote Garden.

I found this beautiful quote by Martin Luther.

The trees are colored with copic markers and daubered distress inks. This panel is the only one actually layered, the others are faux layered using a copic marker and a ruler.

After typing my quote in Word, I printed it on regular copy paper, lined up my piece of dp over the copy paper and lightly taped it in place. I stuck it back in the printer and voila! printed quote.

I'm sorry the colors aren't true to what the card is IRL...no matter what I did to it, I just couldn't get them right! Don't you just hate that!!

Oh, and the image panel is popped up on foam mounting tape.

The Mighty Oak

This is a card I did for a wacky group I'm in on SCS, we're given challenges for a month. The second Monday of the month is our 'Unique Name' on SCS challenge and this month it was.... Papermoon. We had to have a moon somewhere on our card and only use grays!

This is Asela's Bare Oak Tree(s), release is tomorrow at Cornish Heritage Farms! One of 6 tree images. Be sure to check out the awesome gallery tomorrow!!

I stamped them in Adirondack Slate over a masked moon then daubered with slate and mushroom. Filled in under the trees, shaded the moon, and faux layered with copic markers. The image panel is popped up on foam mounting tape.

Sneak Peeks!!

Cornish Heritage is getting ready to release some new images.
This is one from
Asela's
'Trees'. The sentiment is from a set being released the 25th, Essential Expressions.

• I stamped the Date Palm Tree, adding more to the ground with an artist pen and then masked it to stamp the Clouds and Seagulls.
  
  After tearing a piece of copy paper, I used it to sponge inks off the edge to apply the colors. First the beach using Distress Tea Dye and Brushed Corduroy, then the water using Adirondack Stonewashed and Stream.
  
  Before doing the sky, I colored the seagulls with a Sakura white gel pen. The sky was sponged with Distress Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold and Spiced Marmlade. Only the Palm Tree and one Cloud at a time were masked (too lazy to cut more masks! lol)
  
  I then went back and recolored the seagulls with the gel pen and colored the Palm with copic markers. I used a small dauber to fill in some of the sky color around the Palm and clouds.
  
  The water horizon wasn't definitive enough for me so I sponged some Distress Weathered Wood along that line.
  
  The bottom edge is torn and the entire piece is faux layered by taking a Sharpie black marker and a ruler...I just followed the torn edge with the marker, barely touching it.
  
  Faux photo corner done by cutting a square with my Spellbinders square die, cutting it in half and then taking a small circle die to cut out the center. It's sponged with Distress Walnut Stain and popped up on dimensionals.
  
  Spanish Script was stamped with Adirondack Stream and sponged with Distress Vintage Photo, Tea Dye and Walnut Stain.
