Waterfront on glossy card using Brusho Crystal colour and Rubbing Alcohol

Waterfront Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalogue has to be my favourite stamp set at the moment.
Here is a landscape scene I have created using glossy card and brusho for the background.


Step One:  Have your glossy card landscape and sprinkle yellow along the top (about 1/3).  Next sprinkle the Moss green along the middle and then the Prussian blue down the bottom. 


Step Two:  Spray with the alcohol. If you don't have alcohol just spray with water. 


Step Three:  Lay another glossy piece on top with glossy sides touching.


Step Four:  Run a brayer over the top which will distribute the colour over both pieces of glossy card.


Step Five:  Separate both pieces of glossy card. 

You now have two pieces of glossy card to work with.  


Step Six:  Stamp the sun in crushed curry in top left corner and the mountains across the top in marina mist.


Step Seven:  Using the mountain stamp still, overlap the mountain images with smoky slate.


Step Eight:  Stamp the long skinny piece in wild wasabi, overlapping across the base of the mountains.


Step Nine:  Using pool party, Stamp the triangular water image along the bottom  .


Step Ten:  Using island indigo,  add the detailed water image diagonally overlapping each image. 


Step Eleven:  Add the trees stamped in early espresso.


Step Twelve:  From the High Tide stamp set, add the seagulls stamped in island indigo.
