I was happy to work with blue, my favorite color, for this week. I just found this stamp that I LOVE (the one with the trees and the moon) and I designed the card around that, going with a lunar theme. At least, I’m hoping that the lunar thing comes across – because otherwise, my having that offset silver circle behind the white circle will look really odd. I did that to give an impression of the phases of the moon, and the four silver Dew Drops on the side – also for the four phases of the moon. So, I might be the only person who would take note of these things – but, hey, I enjoyed it.
In trying to get the look of a moonlit sky, I used many glittery elements on this card. The card base is silver metallic cardstock; there is a layer of Bazzill Bling white cardstock; and the front panel is a metallic dark blue. I stamped the moon and trees image in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink, and then glittered it up, with Shimmerz in Angel Wings, and a couple Sakura Jelly Roll pens. Here’s a better look —
Thanks so much for visiting!
