I began by stamping my image with Black StazOn ink. I then added Soft Sky to the top for the sky coverage. Next, I added Early Espresso to the tree trunk and the outline of the canoe. I took a bit of Chocolate Chip to lighten the canoe. The tree canopy and grass were colored with Garden Green. The lake was filled in with Pacific Point. I then decided to add some Daffodil Delight to the sky. This really helped to differentiate the sky and the lake. I then stamped my sentiment and then adhered the layers to the card base.

I always work with a paper towel in case I use too much water or the ink is too dark.
