Summery Scene

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of the Chicken Little Patterned Paper (or any other patterned paper that has a cloudy sky print on it) to 6.25" x 3.5".
2. Place the patterned paper on the stamping platform and secure with magnets and/or low-tack tape.
3. Use Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the meadow scene from the A6 In the Meadows Clear Stamp Set onto the patterned paper. 
4. Re-ink the stamp and stamp again if necessary to attain a good impression.
5. Remove the image panel from the stamping platform and heat set the ink.
6. Use acrylic paint markers color and/or add flowers to the meadow. Let the paint dry.
7. Go back and add another layer of acrylic paint markers to the scene. Let the paint dry.
8. Continue to build layers until you're happy with the paint color and coverage, taking care to let the paint dry completely between layers.
9. Place the image panel back onto the stamping platform and secure.
10. Position the butterflies from the A6 In the Meadows Clear Stamp Set facedown on the image panel.
11. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamps, lift, and ink the stamps with Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink.
12. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression.
13. Remove the image panel from the stamping platform and heat set the ink.
14. Use an orange colored pencil to go over the body/antennae portion of the butterflies.
15. Trim the image panel.
16. Cut yellow cardstock so it's slightly larger than the image panel and use it to mat the image panel.
17. Adhere the matted image panel to a blue card.
