Instructions: Using a Versa Mark pad, the image was Stamped randomly onto a 3.5"x5" piece of white glossy cardstock. Drops of ink were scattered randomly across the image, one color at a time, using Vivid reinkers in butterscotch and olive, and Posh Impressions reinker in citrus.

After each color was applied,it was lightly brayered to blend. The whole piece was covered with UTEE and heat-embossed.  Then Egyptian Gold (Judikins) and Copper (Ranger) embossing powders were sprinkled randomly over surface. Another coat of UTEE was applied and heat-embossed again. The piece was mounted on decorative paper and Olive cardstock with gold eyelets. Art fibers were tied on to one side.

INSTRUCTIONS:

“Caught in Crystal” technique was used to create the eagle. Stamp the image on acetate film with Brilliance black ink and spray with fixative. When dry, tape the image side down to a sheet of paper on all four sides to prevent the floor polish from seeping onto the image. Pour Future clear floor wax over the image and spread out with brush or foam paint pad. Sprinkle heavy application of green glitter on floor polish and dry with heat gun to speed up the process. Add second coat of floor polish and spread across the image. Use a piece of tissue paper slightly larger than the acetate film, crumble it into a ball then spread out on top of the floor polish. Add the colors to the tissue paper and blend as desired using a piece of paper towel or brush. The Studio 2 inks do not require much blending, otherwise you blot out the color. Add the Inkabilities metallic colors sparingly as desired. Dry with heat gun. Add final coat of Future floor polish and set aside to dry or use heat gun. (Caution: Be careful when drying with heat gun to prevent distorting or melting the acetate film.)

Prepare a 5 by 7 gold card by stamping randomly around the outside edges (about one inch border) using side B of the cube stamp. Emboss with gold tinsel powder. Cut a piece of fabric approximately 4 by 5-1/2 and pink the edges.

Cut out the eagle image as shown to allow an area large enough at the bottom to fit on the twig. Cut a twig to fit diagonally on the card. Wrap gold wire around the length of the twig; and, attach metallic gold thread to each end. (If you tilt the eagle image, the colors change and the head portion becomes lighter. It is an interesting effect.)

To assemble, glue the fabric to the gold card then glue the twig with the gold wire at a diagonal and the second twig along the bottom for the eagle to rest on. Mount the eagle on the bottom twig using foam pads or dots to support the image. Glue the final art to a folded 5-1/2 by 7-1/2 black card.

Supplies:
H126 Small Moose - Stamps by Judith
Black Stamp Pad
Cream cardstock
Corrugator Dark Green Cardstock
Dark Green Raffia
Tan Cardstock Chalk
Cream card 41/4 x 51/2


Directions:
Stamp moose on cream cardstock with black ink. Trim stamped image. Color moose alternating with tan and light brown chalk. Color nostrils black and grass green. I shaded around moose with very light blue chalk.

Cut a piece of tan cardstock slightly larger than the one your moose is stamped on. Using double sided tape, tape moose to tan cardstock. Tear bottom of tan cardstock toward you to make an uneven edge. Repeat with cream cardstock.

Cut a piece of dark green cardstock to fit the length of your card. Run through your corrugator. Tape to folded edge of card. Tape and center moose image on card. Tie a bow with a couple of pieces of dark green raffia and glue to top of card. You're done!!!

• Obtain an inexpensive replacement cell phone cover for your cell phone. If you chose a base that is similar to the color you end up with, you'll need to use less painting.
  
• Remove the keypad and the clear plastic screen cover & set them aside.
  
• Stipple on a variety of coordinating colors of ink. I used Brilliance Ivy, Fresco Mediterranean Tide, Vesuvian Ash, & Blue Grotto, and Color Box Royal Blue. I kept the blues more towards one and the greens more towards the other for a two toned effect. I may be necessary to add color in stages. Seal in between with Krylon matte finish. DO NOT HEAT SET; you cover may melt.
  
• Paint the accent stripe. I used Lumiere blue to paint the little accent stripe around the top.
  
• Stamp the turtles. (Turtle stamp by Rubber Monger.) I used Brilliance Ivy for the pale turtles in one direction and Zim forest green for the darker turtles in the other direction. Before I stamped the Zim ink turtles, I put a dab of gold from a dabber duo where the shell was going to be and stamped over it.
  
• Seal it all up. Apply several coats of matte or gloss finish. (I used Krylon Low-Odor Gloss finish.) More coats will protect your stamped images better from scratches as you use it.
  
• Replace the keypad and the clear plastic screen cover.

To create background panel, first create a large "tile" of embossing powders on a Teflon craft sheet. Cover the craft sheet with embossing ink and two layers of clear Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE). Pour ginger, clay, denim and moss Adirondack powders onto the clear UTEE. Heat set and swirl with gold UTEE. Let set. Cover a black cardstock panel with three layers of copper UTEE. Break off the "tile" from the Teflon craft sheet and cut it up into small pieces. Drop pieces onto the hot copper panel and heat set to a smooth finish. Let cool. Mount UTEE panel to copper panel then navy card. Adhere grasshopper panel to front center of card.
