Stamped two stars on a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock by first loading the stamp with Versamark and then loading it with Daffodil Delight ink before stamping it. Reloaded stamp for the second image.
Heat embossed the 2 stars using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Punch a 1 3/4″ circle from the non-sticky part of a post it note.
Lined the post it note up as shown below, now punching the sticky part of the post it note to create a mask for the moon.
Put the moon mask on the card stock.
Brayered Tempting Turquoise at an angle on the Top Right Hand corner.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top right hand corner and top left hand corner at an angle.
Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Repeated the brayering that I did with the Not Quite Navy ink using Night of Navy ink and not covering the Not Quite Navy ink entirely creating a variation in color.
Took the moon mask off and added a whole post it note to cover the sky area of the card stock. Sponged Tempting Turquoise ink at the post it note edge to create a horizon line.
Removed the post it note and stamped a few of the same stars in the sky using Not Quite Navy ink.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom and top corners of the card stock.
Punch the Stampin’ Up Bird punch out of More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede card stock, so I have a bird and wing out of Cherry Cobbler, a bird out of More Mustard and two branches out of Soft Suede.
Cut half the leaves off of one of the branches.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the bottom of the Cherry Cobbler bird and wing. Cut the beak off of the Cherry Cobbler Bird.
Glued the Cherry Cobbler Bird on top of the More Mustard bird so just the beak shows. Glued on the Wing. Added Black marker to the bottom of the bird and the face of the bird. Also added Basic Black marker to the bottom of the branches to create a shadow.
Glued the punches to the card stock.
Added White Gel pen highlights to the top of the bird and the branches.
Punched a Curly label punch out of Basic Black ink and then cut the label in half.
Added 2 Basic Black panels, 1 Bashful Blue Panel, 1 half of the Curly Label Punch and 2 gold brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day today be filled with things warm and wonderful!
Until my next post. . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
