The House on the Hill

Good evening,


A bit of a late one today.
This card is one of those that I actually had an image of in my mind before I started - a very rare event for me, usually I have a rough idea and it just kind of takes shape as I go.
As soon as I got the Wee Houses, I wanted to do a hill and a house with the wording under it.

I started by tearing a hill with copy paper, then masking off the bottom half of the card. I stamped the house in place, then stamped on a post-it and cut myself a mask which I put over the stamped image.
I used the cloud mask to do the sky, the trick with this is the way you position the mask and not to use too much ink.  I start at the top and work my way down, dragging ink off the mask with a sponge, then moving the mask and adding more ink.
Once I was happy with the sky, I stamped the trees from the Wee Trees set along the hill.
I removed the mask from the bottom of the card and covered up the top half, then added green ink at the bottom with a stencil brush.
Then came the fun part, I used a black fine pen and drew in the lines for my hills and wrote my words. (I did practise this first!)  I added some bushery with the side of one of the tree stamps and used the Wee Foliage at the front.
Finally ink round the edges and mount up.
