When I started this technique it was just to fill up some time but now I am loving it and anxious to move up to more complicated combinations, but until I master this I'll be happy with what I can do.
I am sharing a card that I created several times and simply changed the greeting. This would make a great variety card set. Perhaps I will end up making a set of these.
Here are the first three that I've completed. The three greetings are "Thank You" "Hello There" and "Thinking of You."
To create the card I first made a template for the oval and then using dye inks I started to sponge the sky. Next came the grass and on one I added a few rocks (thinking of you). Once everything was sponged to my liking I removed the mask and stamped the tree and the greeting using archival ink.
I designed the inside as well but didn't take any photos. I kept it really simple and added a faded image of the tree to the left panel.
