Emerald Cliff
Boulders w/Lichen 205F was stamped in Marvy Uchida's #25 "Bottle Green".
Boulders w/Lichen 205F was stamped two more times in the same color. This image was designed to be stacked and overlapped where no masking is necessary to build a larger foundation.
Cloud Cumulus 018E was stamped in Marvy Uchida's #57 "Rose Pink". The image was stamped three times --each time overlapping the existing impression.
Sun (Wavy Rays) 204G was stamped in the Rose Pink. Most of the where the sun image and the cloud images met was masked out using a ripped paper towel. The ripped paper towel can give a "softer" mask than cut paper.
The Tonal Applicator 084E was used in Marvy Uchida's #60 "Pale Orange". The sun will be the light source and I'll have some light falling on the cliff so I left those areas light and mostly untouched by the pale orange.
The Tonal Applicator was used in Marvy Uchida's #5 "Yellow". Really bright here with the addition of the yellow but there are still a few colors to go that will tone this down. I just want a bright foundation that will make the card "glow" in the end result.
The Tonal Applicator was used in Marvy Uchida's #11 "Light Green". Already you can see the effects of having the yellow underneath the green. This #11 is a bright color but the yellow underneath really raises the intensity.
The Tonal Applicator was used in Marvy Uchida's #10 "Light Blue" and then in #4 "Green". For added depth in the sky area, the Cloud Cumulus 018E was used again in #4 "Green".
The Tonal Applicator was used in Marvy Uchida's #25 "Bottle Green". Oak Tree Medium 178E and Horseback 173A was stamped in Bottle Green. Reeds Lg. 068D, Reeds 067B were added with a Memories "Black" ink pad.
A Pentel Milky Gel Roller in the colors of White, Light Blue, were used to add highlights in the sky and ledge.
To make things a little softer in areas a Color Box pigment pad was used with a Q-Tip application to the clouds, and sun. I just dab the Q-Tip in the white ink and with that same "dabbing" movement I build up the ink on to the areas of the card where I want that look.
