I tried the technique, first wiping the bottom of the panel with an anti-static powder bag. I tore a piece of paper to make the mask for the hill. I applied Versafine embossing ink to the paper below the hill mask with a makeup sponge. Then I stamped the trees with embossing ink. Finally I added the gold embossing powder and heat set it all.
I liked how the gold embossing looked, but the paper I used was thin and there was warping from when I did the browns technique. I tried to "get rid" of some of that warped paper by cutting my panel with a Hero Arts Oval nesting infinity die. I cut a black "frame" with the next size larger oval die. I did not get my panel centered perfectly, however!
I will list the stamps at the end. For each card, I'm listing the inks I used for the sky.
Above you can I tried swiping greens for the land. Used Gina K's asparagus, then jelly bean and soft stone at the top. I switched to Fabiano Smooth Bristol paper 103 lb. (280 gsm) which worked so much better than my regular inexpensive cardstock. It held up to water without much warping.
Ink blending: distress tumbled glass for the lake and streams. The sky, bottom up: distress fossilized amber, Gina K sweet mango, blue denim.
