A little ink blending and stamping for my sample card this time...
I began by die cutting a circle from a post-it note to use as a mask to create a moon. I then ink blended with Distress Inks to create a wintery dusk sky. I removed the mask and then stamped the branch and bauble in black to create silhouettes. The string was hand drawn with a fibre tip pen. I finished by stamping the sentiment in a co-ordinating shade and added some Glossy Accents to the bauble for some shine. Apart from the drying time of the gloss, this was a pretty quick card to make.
Materials used:
- Die: Hero Arts - Infinity Circle Dies (for the mask)
- Ink: Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar; Versafine - Onyx Black; Versa Color - Heliotrope
- Stamps: Fancy Foliage (free with Creative Stamping magazine); Card-io Majestix - Zendangles; Clearly Besotted - Sing It's Christmas
- Accents: Fibre tip pen, Glossy Accents
Challenge entries:
AAA Cards - CAS Game #169 - Made in Minutes (Christmas in July)
Time Out - Challenge #166 - Peaceful
