Video: Making Mountains Out of Volcanoes

You've heard that saying "making a mountain out of a molehill" right? Well today I'm making mountains out of volcanoes! I thought the volcano image looked like a snowy slope, so today I have a video for you on how I made these two different mountain looks with simple inking, blending and the Volcano HeroScape . The inks I used are Navy , Deep Ocean , Soft Pool , Unicorn and Aquatic . (Two of these blues are in this ink cube set , the other two are in this ink cube set .) On the card on the left, I reclaimed some of the details with a white gel pen, where the mountains overlapped.

I love stretching a stamp outside its original intention - it's pretty much my favorite thing to do. So enjoy this video tutorial and I hope you try this!
