bejewelled landscape by rachel

Hello there,
I have another couple of pieces for you today including a step by step for my patchwork landscape card. But first of all my dress form:

I had much fun making this piece - I painted the dress form first then stamped the images onto rice paper and coloured them. I applied them to the dress using decoupage type glue...once finished I made a quick hat out of cardboard and added that to the dress form too!

And so to my card ...To begin I created my card blank ... an A3 piece of card was cut in half along the long edge. Once I had done this, instead of just folding the card in half,  I folded one flap to be very narrow and one flap to be very wide ... I then cut three pieces of card ready to mount onto this card blank.

On each measured piece of card I used a landscape stencil and mask to create land and sky using distress oxides and a stencil brush.

Next I added the stamping.... I tried to allow room for the gap on the front of the card - and also did a bit of masking in order to get the images to work together. I also added some pen lines for more landscape...

Next I added colour to the sun and the stamped features using inks and water colour pencils.

I added these to the card blank and added some sequins. 

I do hope this is helpful - if you have any questions please ask away!

Big hugs
