Thomas Kinkade's Clocktower Cottage



Today is the release day for the newest Thomas Kinkade image by Cornish Heritage Farms, Clocktower Cottage. I've chosen to go monochromatic with the upper card, creating it in shades of mossy green. For the second card, I've gone with a reverse spotlighting effect. The image was first stamped and chalked before adding a vellum layer to mute the colors. Then a second image was stamped in sepia ink and trimmed with an oval die before mounting on top of the vellum layer.

Have a terrific Thursday!

The backgrounds on each are just enough without being too much for these beautiful images, Val!
