Moonlight and snowflakes

 

Good Morning! I am here with a step by step tutorial for this card. 

I began by stamping the moon in shaded lilac distress ink onto a 14cm square of white card.

Next I blended distress inks around the moon getting gradually darker.

I added some ground with a skylines inkable in the foreground using black soot distress ink. I also sponged a little around the edge. I gave this background a light spray with water and dried it thoroughly

Next I used an anti static cloth across the card. I then stamped and embossed in white randomly around the page using the snowflake from winter journaling girl Cosy

I stamped Cosy onto the background where I wanted her and also onto a piece of white card.

I coloured her with ecoline pens and cut her out.

After sticking her to the panel over the stamped image with matte medium, I added a few white pen highlights.

I stamped the spots from the same stamp set in spun sugar and shaded lilac around the edge of a 15cm square card

I attached the panel to the card and added a sentiment from winter small words using white ink and embossing powder. I added a few smaller snowflakes from the small words stamp set in just white ink too

 

Here is the finished card again.

I used:

Birds and Moons stamp set ( there is a moon on the conch shell set too)

Winter Journaling Girls Cosy stamp set

Small words Winter stamp set
Inkables skylines horizon 1

Distress inks in Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Wilted violet and Black soot

Versafine Clair black ink

Ecoline pens

Moonlight becomes me...

I had the opportunity to get inky on Mother's day and thought I would start work on a commission that needed to be finished by the end of next week . It is a retirement card for a female lawyer who likes cruises and flowers. I am hoping this fits the bill.

I used my ink dusters to create a moon, sea and sky with Adirondack inks in Peach Bellini, Mountain Rose, Watermelon, Purple twilight, Eggplant, Denim and Pitch Black.The stamps are all stampscapes (Palms with Huts small set).

 The vine and large flower in the corner are Marianne design dies and the flowers are an EK success punch. I am entering this into the 'Craft a scene' challenge where the theme this month is Moonlight. It is the first time I have entered this challenge, but my regular visitors will know how much I love my scenes.

Before I go I thought I would share the card Meg made me for Mother's day, yesterday. She loves drawing Manga and here is her portrait of me...waist deep in cupcake! If only I were that slim in real life! She bought me flowers, baked me some gorgeous cakes and cleaned my car too. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter.
Well, I'd better go and get on. Thanks for looking!
