Dashing Deer

Hello again!

I might not be posting as often, but I'm trying to make up for it with content.

So I'm here again with lots of pics on a theme, this time with truly dashingly handsome

Dashing Deer.

We did some inky background making at a recent workshop.

There was quite a lot of masking and sponging of ink going on.

Some of them used a shaped aperture, and a hill made from scrap paper.

The snowman was masked, so I could ink the sky over him.

The next one I masked the large deer....he is amazing....

the stamp looks two-tone, even though stamped once in one colour.

The moon is another mask, a circle cut from a sticky note.

The one below used Lovely as a Tree, stamped and heat embossed with white powder.

I then inked over the top, made some hills, and buffed off the trees after.

Spookily I noticed Amanda Bates from thecraftspa.blogspot.com

must have been making similar cards around the same time,

so I'm delighted to share a link to her detailed tutorial HERE.

Do put her blog on your reading list as she makes lovely things,

and often shares her tutorials for free,

Here's some close-ups, not all of them good!

I like how gently inking the bottom of the aperture finishes off the illusion.

I hate how I can see the horizon through his neck!

Below that, I should never have stamped the little deer!

I do like putting white dots with a gel pen.

I tried highlighting  the moonlight on the deer, not in a good way, needs some work.

I do like leaving a paler "glow" around the moon though. 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Lesley
