Clocktower Cottage

Published by Michele Boyer at 12:05 am under Cornish Heritage Farms, My Designs

Today brings the release of another Thomas Kinkade image from Cornish Heritage Farms, Clocktower Cottage. I used one of my favorite techniques for TK images, Vintage Vellum.

You Are Missed

I stamped the image onto vellum using Adirondack Espresso ink. Once the ink was dry, I used Copic markers to color the backside of the image.

YAMCU6

I then trimmed the image, leaving a small border, cut a block of Natural cardstock to the same size, and adhered the vellum using Tombow Mono Multi. I carefully and lightly applied the glue around the edges, behind dark marker or ink. The upper left corner is blue sky so I added a small dot of thinly spread glue in the corner. (The glue doesn’t show through the vellum at all.)

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with a cheesy ghostly greeting!

What a beautiful scene! You make it sound easy to color a Kinkade if you stamp the vellum and color on the back!
