Instructions:
Cut a panel of watercolor cardstock. Stamp the front most images, the hut and trees, with brown ink. Roughly mask the images and stamp the first line of mountains. Repeat masking and stamping until the scene is built. Remove all the masks.  

Loosely colour the image using the smooshing and distress inks and/or oxides.
Spritz the panel with water and crumple it up to give it an aged look. Flatten it back out and blend over with Tea Dye Distress ink.
Lightly and roughly add texture to some areas, primarily the edges, with Tea Dye ink and the small crackle stamp. Run the edge of the scissors' blade along the sides of the panel to distress it. Roll one or more corners and add some slight tears if desired. Add more tea Dye ink to the exposed areas.

Set the panel aside. Stamp the star fish repeatedly on the white card base using Tea Dye ink to create a rough pattern. Add the sentiment to the lower right corner of the card base with the same brown ink as used originally. Add liquid glue to the back of the aged panel and adhere to the card base. Avoid excessively flattening the image.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post! The crumpling technique can be a bit daunting, especially when you've spent some time working on creating the image, but the result is worthwhile. I hope you'll give it a try, and I'd love to see what you make!
