Time Out #166 - Peaceful

Hi friends!  We are in week two of our Time Out challenge.  The challenge is PEACEFUL.

 

This challenge is sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs.

 

I used the stamp set Lake Advice from Newton's Nook for this challenge.  I loved this sentiment and thought it went well with the challenge.  I started by created the background.  I watched one of Jennifer McGuire's recent videos and wanted to try this technique.  I started with some bright blue cardstock and a waves stencil.  I first sponged white pigment ink through the stencil.  After drying the ink and cleaning the stencil, I put it back over the cardstock moving it slightly up.  Then using chipped sapphire oxide ink, I stenciled over the white ink.  It gave it a 3-D sort of look.  I die cut that piece with a stitched rectangle die.  Then I die cut the scalloped banner and stamped the sentiment on it.  The trees, canoe, and paddle were stamped, colored and fussy cut.  Before I adhered them, I stamped the waves.  There is some shimmer on the trees and crystals added.
