Neat & Tangled April Release Day 2


Welcome back for Day 2 of the Neat & Tangled April release.  Today we're showing off a new mini from Elena called Dream Big.

I started by stamping and coloring the main image with Copics.  It was then die cut.  I wanted to see as much of the background as possible, so there were a couple tight places where I did a bit of fussy cutting to add some definition - in particular between the legs and the goose's bottom.

Then I needed a background.  Just like yesterday's card, I turned to Pinkfresh Studio's Indigo Hills 2 6x6 pad.  I wanted to add some soft clouds to the background, so I used the negative spaces from the clouds that I did cut for yesterday's card as a stencil, inking them with white pigment ink.  I went over the clouds a few times to get them to the lightness that I wanted.


The sentiment is from the Layered Landscape set.  A simple black mat finished things off.

OK, head on over to the Neat & Tangled blog to check out what the rest of the team created and enter to win today's set.  

I'll see you back here tomorrow when we show off my newest product for N&T!
