July Mid Month Challenge: Hot!

The mid month challenge for July over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes & ATCs is a small piece of art work using a stencil with the theme of HOT! This is what I came up with.

I started with one of the Vivid Painterly Portrait Landscapes which I thought evoked the idea of heat.

I then blended Vintage Photo Distress Archival ink through one of the Wee Tree stencils (WS002) using an ink blending brush.

I then added grasses from the Tree Canopy Scene stamp set in the same ink.

The small stag from the same set was added into the background in Black Soot Distress Archival ink.

I coloured the stag using Perga Colour pen #21, then added further grass as before.

Next, I trimmed off the top of the postcard, edged it with Perga Colour pen #19 and added it to the front of a 6" x 6" white card blank.

To finish, I added one of the Tall Feel Good Sentiments in the same brown ink as before.
