CCdesign sneak peak and step by step

This is a sneak peak of one of the upcoming sets from CCdesigns at all that scraps. I thought it would be fun to show the step by step of creating this little scene. I was perusing today Zindorf's blog. She does so many awesome tutorials. I only discovered her blog today and spent a couple of hours going through a big portion of her entries. After going throug it, I thought it would be fun to create a scene with these awesome stamps!
recipe:
Stamps: CCdesigns A Hootin Good Time and polka dot BG, SU Two step stampin Watercolor minis, SU Fancy Flexible Phrases
Ink: SU : True Thyme, Old Olive, Wasabi, Basic Brown, Bayou, Caribbean, Night of Navy, River Rock. Ranger Distress : Mustard, Soot, Marigold, Shabby Shutter, Brushed Corduroy, Walnut, Pine, Broken China. Ranger Adirondacks: Cloudy Blue. Versamark, Stewart Superior Burnt Umber.
Paper: Bazzill, Old Olive, unknown DP from All That Scraps, Whisper White.
Other: Copic markers, May Art satin ribbon, White gel pen, Dew Drops, copper brads, clear embossing pwd., rhinestones, stickles, Glimmer mist in Olive, sponges.

The Ciao markers are: E51, E31, Y21, YR04, E71,YR23
I start by tearing up the white paper into the shape of a hill and taped it down with tacky tape. I start off with the SU greens and brown and my Brayer. Once my area is masked I stamp a flower with Versamark and clear emboss. Then I begin by braying River Rock. I accidentally started with the wrong brayer. This one was too hard!

Next I brayer some Wasabi and Olive. I spread a bit with the sponge too.
Last I go through with the True Thyme and the Brown to deepen it at the base!

Once my hills basic form is done, I use my other half of the torn piece to mask my hills.

Next I brayer through the Cloud and Caribbean.
Bayou is sponged and brayered.
I go through with Nigh of Navy, and Bayou, using the sponge to blend edges and the brayer to get the edges. I also punch a circle with my 1 3/8 " circle punch. I mask a piece for the moon.
Over here I open every green and brown and black that I have and start adding more definition with sponges and the Watercolor mini stamps.

I remove my moon mask and use the opposite piece to mask the surrounding area and sponge my moon with Mustard and Dried Marigold.

I remover the moon mask and sponge white craft ink for a mistiness.
I stamp my tree trunk and color with my Copic Markers. I also at this time stamp two of the owls and color them in and cut them out.
I decide where I want to place my images and adhere them down with glue.
I add in white highlights with my gel pen, rhinestones for the owls eyes ( the one in the hole) and stickles to the beak and feet. I also put my whole card together.



I hope you enjoy this step by step. I thought it would be kinda fun to see the steps. I may not be posting for a couple days ( project to work on), so I thought I would leave you with something more detailed then I have lately. Hubby is gone again for a month so My posting will be somewhat erratic!

Hugs,
