You Moo-ve Me

This card is made with a real photo of a lovely sunset  - photo complements of Sandy. For our February Stampscapes swap she gave us some lovely sky photos.  The romantic  cows are from Sunday International.   This image is part of a really cute set and is available on EZMount or bare rubber.  When I get images with words attached, I separate them to make it easy to use only one or the other. Another option is to cover up the words or image with a sticky note when you ink it up and then remove the sticky note before you stamp.  I can still mount them together and ink at the same time if I choose.

1. Stamp image onto white card stock using Versafine ink, sprinkle with emboss powder and heat set.  Do not include any of the heart pieces of the image.
2. Add color to the cows with Copic markers. Blend colors together in the same color family using two to three markers to create shading.
3. Add color to the hay with Marvy markers.  Blend the two shades of yellow and mustard together across the hay stack to create shading.
4. Use a craft knife to cut around the solid part of the image.  Do not worry about trying to get all the fragments of hay.
5. Print digital image of photo on to white card stock.  Allow to dry.
6. Ink up the entire outer image with Memento ink pad. Stamp over photo.
7. Adhere colored cow images over stamped area.
8. Color in hearts with marker
9. The hill in this card was hand drawn following the outline in the photo. 
10. Adhere all layers.
11. For the inside of the card:
    • Ink up milk carton image with Memento ink. Add color with Copic markers
    • Ink up sentiment image with Memento ink and stamp on white card stock.
    • Adhere sentiment over colored card stock layers.
    • The hearts are hand drawn. Add color with marker.
