Under the Stars and Moon – Tutorial #550

 

Hey There,

Do you believe this is tutorial number 550!!!   I like to pat myself on the back for every 50 tutorials I put on here, lol.  Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat. . . . . . . . . .  Isn’t sharing fun!  Well I hope you are enjoying my tutorials as much as I enjoy doing them for you.

How about a card for that nature lover today.   You know the guy that likes to camp or that person that just loves to sit by a bonfire.

This project highlights the emboss resist technique.  Great way to get those light images in front of dark backgrounds.

Psssstttt. ..  .There is a little sneak peek on this card. . . I’ve used one of the ticket stamps from a new set that will be out in the up coming Occassions Catalog. . . stay tuned for that catalog, it is out of this world wonderful!!

Checkout the tutorial for this card below.

Stamped the campfire on a 3″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock using craft Basic Black ink.  Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.  Colored the flames with Daffodil Delight marker and the logs with Crumb Cake marker.

Added Pumpkin Pie marker to the flames and Early Espresso marker to the logs.

Also added Cajun Craze the flames and blended the logs using the Crumb Cake marker.

Colored over the image using a Versamarker and heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered Island Indigo ink from the top of the card stock down to the logs then Brayered Midnight Muse ink at an angle on the top right and left corners of the card stock.

Sponged Old Olive ink in for the ground area and then sponged Always Artichoke ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from a scrap piece of card stock and used the negative circle to mask for the moon.  Sponged Whisper White ink in the circle and then stamped the stars using Whisper White ink.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock.

Cut a 3.5″ x 8.5″ piece of Island Indigo card stock and sponged Old Olive on the bottom half of it.

Added a 4″ x 9″ Midnight Muse card base, a 3 1/8″ x 6 1/8″ Bashful Blue panel and cut the Island Indigo panel twice at the bottom to give a stacked effect.   Stamped the ticket stamp using Whisper White card stock 3 times and punched them out.  Added them to the bottom of the card.
