1. Using the second from the largest Large Stitched rectangle dies, cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock. Using my Picket Fence Studios Blender Brushes, I inked up this panel using Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire. I splattered this panel with clean water, white ink, and metallic gold ink.
2. Using the Meadow Backdrop die, I cut two panels from dark navy cardstock. Then I used the same Large Stitched Rectangle die from Step 1, to trim the hillsides to fit on the inked panel. I used tape to keep one piece intact, and I received the upper portion from the second piece. I used Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink to lightly ink the edges of the Meadow Backdrop grass.
3. On the shorter piece of grass, I heat embossed a sentiment from Super Star across the bottom using gold Lawn Fawn Embossing Powder. Then I used a small amount of gold metallic watercolor to fill in the letters.
4. Using Lawn Fawn Glue Tube I adhered the taller grass to the panel making sure to line them up. Then I attached the shorter piece with foam tape on top.
5. I stamped out the images I wanted to use from Super Star and Dandy Days onto bright white Neenah cardstock, using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Premium Ink and colored using various Copic Markers. I also heat embossed the three constellations with the same Gold embossing powder from earlier.
6. I used the coordinating Super star Lawn Cuts and Dandy Day Lawn Cuts to cut out all of the images. Once all of the images have been cut, I highlight with small white dots.
7. Finally, I adhered all of my images to the various panels and layers using liquid Lawn Fawn Glue Tube. I make sure to tuck images before and behind the grass layers to give depth and dimension. I also placed one mouse on each of the grassy hill layers. My favorite thing to do, is to let a little piece of a stamped images hang off of the edge. But not too much that it will extend the card base.
8. Using the largest Large Stitched Rectangle die, I cut a piece of navy patterned paper. Then I trimmed a piece of sunshine yellow cardstock 1/8th inch larger than the inkblended panel to create a very small yellow layer between both stitched pieces. I mounted all of these together using 1/4 inch Scor Tape. Then I mounted the whole thing onto a card base with more Scor Tape.
