ABC Challenge with Heart 2 Heart

I was blog hoping, again, and came across many brayed stamped images. So I decided that for this challenge I would do a brayed scenic stamped image. So I pulled out my brayer and as it turns out.... I DO NOT have that technique mastered. Huh. Well I will be visiting youtube and fix that shortly. However, in the mean time, I still have a challenge. So instead I grabbed my sponges and did a faux brayed image. Since this was a “test” I didn’t take pictures of every step. My pictures are all of the final product.

Here is the list of item I used:

Inks:
Sunny Yellow z2152
Topiary z2155
Cocoa z2114
Black z2105
Dutch Blue z2119
Amethyst z2100
Sky z2194
Smokey Plum z2147
Grey Wool z2125
Lagoon z2195
White Card stock

Sponges

Blending Pen

I masked off the top half with post its and using the sponges created the “water” with Sky, Dutch Blue and Lagoon. Be sure to ink of on a scrap paper before sponging onto your project. After removing the mask I then stamp my image using black ink. I stamp the moon and bird part of the image on the sticky part of the post it and masked them off as well as the water.

 I then created the sky using Amethyst, Sky, Smokey Plum and Black. I then masked all the image revealing only the rocks and used Grey Wool, Smokey Plum, and Black. Using the blending pen I coloured in the trunk in Cocoa. Dabbed some Topiary over the leaves, and gave a hint of a glow to the moon with the Sunny Yellow.
