GDT Lisa Tilson is playing in the mountains

Hello everyone, my name is Lisa Tilson (find my blog HERE). This is the second of my projects as a GDT for Time For Tea Designs. I have used the same stamp set – Life’sUps and Downs aswell as the Mountain Scene dies. Love those mountains, so cute!  Again, I began by creating my background. I masked off a section around my white panel and ink blended a sky and grass area. I went from dark to light for the sky from the top, and from dark to light from the ground for the grass area. There is actually a white area between the sky and grass but it isn’t visible behind the mountains. I die cut the mountains from two different grey cardstocks, and their peaks from white and adhered them together. I also decided at this point to cut two white clouds from the Autumn Scene cover plate set. I set all these to one side and started on the colouring!

The images were stamped onto white cardstock and coloured with Copics before cutting them out with the coordinating dies. The fun bit is arranging them all into a little scene. So I did that and took a photo so that I knew where to position all the images once I started the assembling. Some were adhered flat and some popped up with foam tape. To finish I stamped a sentiment from Life’s Ups and Downs onto white cardstock, trimmed it and added some foam tape to that too. The whole panel was then added to my horizontal top folding card base.

Come and join GDT Lisa Tilson around the camp fire

 

Hello there, my name is Lisa Tilson (find my blog HERE) and I am delighted to be a guest on the Time For Tea blog this month. I have two cards to share with you using sets from the October release. The first is a fun little night time camping scene. I enjoyed making this one as I don’t think I have ever made a night time camping scene before! To kick off, I ink blended a background panel using three Distress Inks and set it to one side. I die cut the Autumn Scene cover plate from white cardstock and again from navy cardstock. The navy frame section was adhered onto my background panel. The tree was coloured with Copics and the two grass areas were ink blended with Distress Inks. These were all adhered flat onto the background panel.

Next, I took some of the images from Life’s Ups and Downs, stamped them onto white cardstock and coloured them with Copics. They were cut out with the coordinating dies and adhered into my scene. The leaves were die cut from scrap green and brown cardstock and to finish the card I white heat embossed a sentiment from Life’s Ups and Downs onto black cardstock, trimmed it out and popped it up with foam tape. They look right at home with their cosy knitwear on, warming their hands by a roaring fire!
