Moonlight Magic

Hi everyone, 

Who doesn’t love a glow in the dark moon. 

. 

I cut an A2 sized piece of watercolour cardstock and used a large circle die, die cut a circle from a piece of masking paper.

Placed the masked circle piece of paper over the cardstock and blended Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink over top of the open circle.

I used the circle that was die cut from the masked paper, placed it over the yellow circle.

I blended the other colours Blueprint Sketch and Hickory Smoke on to the background.

I placed the Stampers Anonymous open moon mask piece (medium size) over the circle and used a pallet knife to spread on the glow paste.

Added some shading in between the paste areas with a Lost Shadow Distress watercolour pencil and a paintbrush.

Stamped the bats with black ink and added corn stalks with Hickory Smoke ink embossed with Pumice Stone embossing glaze.

I die cut the witch and cat from black suede paper and added a tiny bit of glow paste behind the cat’s eyes.

I added splatters of white paint and a bit of Distress spritz spray to the background making sure to mask off the moon first and then blended Black Soot Distress ink around the edges of the panel.

Stamped the sentiments and heat embossed with white powder.

I then assembled all the elements onto the background and adhered to a polka dot panel of Idea-ology paper

Check out the glow in the dark moon.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

Well today is the first day of Spring and I have a couple of cards to share with you using the Farm Life stamp set from the new Rain or Shine release from https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/rain-or-shine

For my first card I stamped the barn and coloured with Copic markers. 

Masked off the barn and then blended the background with Distress inks.

I then stamped all the cute little farm animals and coloured with Copics.

Added a grass die cut border and foam mounted the animals.

The background for my scene was created with a stripe stencil and Distress inks.

For my second card I used a cloud stencil and Distress ink to create the background.

I embossed the piece with a large postage die.

I stamped the cute ducks and used Distress watercolour pencils to colour them in and also the background of each.

I used a postage die set to cut them out.

Stamped the sentiment and embossed with white embossing powder.
