a Misti Christmas-My Sweet Petunia/Impression Obsession Swap Hop

Good Morning!

Welcome to the Impression Obsession and My Sweet Petunia Fall Blog Hop!

I love my Mini Misti  for stamping smaller card fronts and images

I absolutely adore this Deer Crossing Image . The ability to stamp precisely with my Misti allowed me to bring the image to life by stamping in different colours

Here's how I did it:

1. Align the paper and the stamp in the Misti

2. Ink the entire stamp with a light coloured ink in order to get an overall impression 

3. Clean the stamp with a wet wipe and Ink the trees in a lighter shade of green.

4. Reink the Trees with a Darker shade of green ( I used Old Olive).

5. Clean the stamp and ink the deer in a shade of brown-stamp

6. Clean the stamp and using a marker, colour in the Cabins. Huff on the stamp to give added moisture and stamp on the cardstock. Add a second coat of marker if necessary.

7. Clean the stamp and using a water based marker, colour in the fence line, stamp.

8. Clean the stamp. Using either a glue pad ink up the stamp quickly. Stamp and apply glitter, shaking off the excess. Alternatively paint on a thin coat of glue and seal and stamp, followed by glitter. If you do this, be sure to clean the stamp well with water.

Using a Marker, pencil in the roof lines on the Cabin.

9. Stamp the Merry Christmas Sentiment in Old Olive.

10. Sponge the edges of the cardstock ( I used soft sky)

Layer and mount to a 6"x6" card base
