Begin with 5.25 x 5.25 inch cream cardstock. Stamp Heartfelt Creations Mountain Scene twice across. Stamp again onto scrap paper for a mask. Cut along the mountain ridges out for a mask and save the 'sky' portion of the mask to use when you ink the mountains. Lay the mask over the mountains and begin layering color using the stipple brushes. I started with Butterscotch closest to the mountains, then lightly with Wild Plum above the yellow. The yellow is not showing up in the photo so good, but it looks like a sunset sky with yellow glowing up from the mountains. Stipple onto scratch paper first to control how much color you lay on your project. Then the top portion of the sky goes into blue first using Broken China and then Faded Jeans DI. Remove the mask and put on the mask for the sky portion. Lay color into the mountains using stipple brushes. I did this order: bundled sage, vintage photo, forest moss, vintage photo, pine needles. Then I worked color down from the mountains to the foreground using pineneedles and forest moss in the back and then just forest moss up front. Stamp the Magnificent Spruce using Forest Moss ink and then stipple over the tree with Iced Spruce and Evergreen Bough. Color the trees near the mountains with a paint brush and Pine Needles DI. Generation stamp using Frayed Burlap inking just the top edge of the mountain ridge line randomly in the middle ground of card to form hills. Generation stamp using Frayed burlap inking just the bottom grass edge of the mountain stamp and randomly stamp to fill the space. Stamp just the tip of the Small Pine Branch from the Leaf Medley Set using Bundled Sage and some with Frayed Burlap to make taller grass and seedlings. To make the wooden frame, begin with a 5-7/8 x 5-7/8 inch Kraft cardstock. Create a mask by laying a piece of copy paper with its straight edge from corner to diagonal corner on the kraft cs so the stamped image will make a mitered-like corner. Using Walnut Stain ink, stamp a portion of the Woodgrain from the Window Accents Set along the edge of the kraft cs, moving the mask for each side. Tear the inside out and ink the torn edge with walnut stain. Attach scenery piece to back of ‘wood’ frame and wrap brown twine tied into a button around. Layer onto a 6 x 6 red top fold card. Stamp verse using Festive Berries ink onto kraft cs. Corner round punch it and place it on card. CREATED BY: CAROLINE DUNCAN

	Products Used on This Project HCPC 3392 Bella Rose House PreCut Set HCPC 3374 Flora Grand 2 PreCut Set Other Supplies: Spellbinders Grand Labels 1, Grand Calibur, heavy board card stock, white card stock off white and brown acrylic paint, crackle paint, Gala Glitz, glue, hot glue gun, pearl accents, lace, Lindy Stamp Gang coral and blue color shots, shimmer sprays, gold Rub-N-Buff, Instructions: Inspired by a Tim Coffee video using hot glue to outline images. First cut out the label and decide which images you want to use. I love these flower stamps and the wonderful butterfly image so I stamped the images onto white cardstock and cut out. Place your cut out images onto the label die cut and glue down. Outline the images with a hot glue gun. This is harder than it looks, but you don’t have to be as accurate as you might think. Take your time, this part can be tedious but the results are worth it! Next cut out a piece of lace and glue to the top of the piece. Also add whatever embellishments you want at this stage. Paint the whole piece with off white paint and let dry. Next I painted the piece with brown paint. When this is dry paint it with crackle paint and let dry. Once dry give the whole thing another coat of off white and the crackle begins to show through! At this point, I set the piece aside and let it dry overnight. Once I was sure it was good and dry I used a color wash of coral and blue for the flowers and the butterflies. I also painted the lace piece in blue. Next I used gold to rub over the pearls and some of the hot glue to accent the piece. Then comes the fun part, spray the piece with some shimmer sprays until you achieve the look you like. If your color wash fades just add a little more color. The important part is to just have fun with the piece, use colors you love and make it yours! Display on an easel or glue some ribbon to it to make a wall hanging. CREATED BY: GLENDA BROOKS
