Darkroom Door Majestic Mountains Stamp Mask Card

During times of uncertainty, I find the seeds of the Word of God, planted long ago, coming to mind to fill my heart with assurance and my spirit with comfort.  Isaiah 54:10 has been coming to me again and again.  It reminded me of the beautiful graphic for this month's Darkroom Door Facebook Challenge.  I had the idea to use my embossing pen to add the scripture.

Here are the basic steps. I stuck three sticky notes down onto my glass mat and stamped the largest two Majestic Mountains stamps across the notes.  Next, I covered the notes with long strips of packing tape and cut the ridge away from the sky.  This made me a more permanent stencil and mask that I can use again for future projects.  I sponged the sky using Distress Oxides in Dusty Concord and Stormy Sky.  Then I stamped the back mountains in Watering Can Archival ink.  I sponged them with more Stormy Sky.  I continued to stamp more mountains in black using my masks/stencils.  I tapped the above mentioned inks and Tumbled Glass onto my mat and then watercolored the mountains.  I used the leftover ink and a bit of water to splash the design.  Finally, I dried the panel very well and dusted it with an embossing buddy/powder so I could emboss my scripture. 

I chose my favorite portion of the 5.5x8" panel and cut it square.  I cut the Prayers die from the leftovers.  I added more stamped and embossed trees along the bottom. 

I plan to use the next few weeks to send out cards to those I love.  I am the worlds worst at making cards and not sending them.  I am so thankful for this extra time to get caught up.
