Paso a paso

1. Take a piece of waste card from a basic circle die and create a circular background using distress inks in warm sunset colours—orange, pink and yellow. ▶ watch 19:45
2. Spray water onto the inked circle to activate the distress inks and allow the colours to blend and move naturally. ▶ watch 20:00
3. Use a wet wipe to pull back some of the colour if needed, creating a more subtle, misty effect. ▶ watch 20:15
4. Dry the background completely with a heat tool. ▶ watch 20:45
5. Stamp the skyline image in black ink onto the dried background, positioning it to overlap the sunset circle. ▶ watch 21:00
6. If the stamp doesn't fully transfer on the first press, re-ink and stamp again in the same position to ensure full coverage. ▶ watch 21:30
7. Stamp additional decorative elements, such as birds or smaller details from coordinating stamp sets, using black ink to add texture and interest. ▶ watch 22:00
8. Adhere the finished design to a card base using glue, positioning it centrally or slightly off-centre as desired. ▶ watch 22:30

Consejos del programa

• Don't worry about achieving perfect coverage on the first stamp impression—you can re-stamp in the same position without moving the paper.
• Use a plastic pot rather than a cardboard box when spraying inks to prevent waste and keep your workspace cleaner.
• The misty, atmospheric quality of skylines means slight imperfections in colour application actually enhance the effect.
