Stamped the house reflections in a line across a 3″ x 7″ piece of Whisper White card stock. To stamp the reflections, stamped the house on my Stamp-a-ma jig plastic using Going Gray ink and then turned the plastic over on my card stock and rubbed the back of the plastic to put the image on the card stock. Repeated this until I had all of the house stamped across the card stock.
Stamped the house roofs reflection in the same way as the house, using going gray and the stamp-a-ma-jig plastic.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the bottom and top of the card stock.
Brayered Night of Navy ink at the top and bottom of the card stock, not covering the Not Quite Navy completely.
Added a 1 3/4″ mask punched out of the sticky part of a post it note. Brayered Night of Navy again at the top of the card stock to get the moon to show up.
Removed the moon mask and stamp the houses across the card stock using Basic Black ink, matching them up the reflection images using a stamp-a-ma-jig for placement.
Stamped the roofs in Basic Black ink using a Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement.
Colored in the windows of the houses with an Apricot Appeal marker.
Added a little bit of watery Apricot Appeal ink with an Aqua Brush to the window in the reflection images.
Colored one of the house with a Blush Blossom marker and the reflection for that house with watery Blush Blossom ink using an Aqua Painter.
Colored one of the houses with a Bashful Blue Marker and the reflection of the house with watery Bashful Blue ink using an Aqua Painter.
Masked the houses with a post it note and Sponged Not Quite Navy at the post it note edge.
Traced along the edge of the post it note with a Basic Black marker.
Removed the post it note mask and added dashes in the water with a White Gel Pen.
Assembled the card adding Basic Black and Blush Blossom panels. Added a Sahara Sand line in the top and bottom right hand corners of the Large Blush Blossom Panel to make this look like a window frame.
Added a punched Whisper White Star to the sky and here is the finished card measuring 4″ x 9″. This will fit in a #10 size envelope.
May your day be filled with fun and laughter.
Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Hugs,
Michelle
