After creating
this card for last weeks
Less Is More, I thought I'd have a go at making a one layer card version. I die cut two stencils from clear acetate sheeting, one with the negative space from Lil Inkers
Stitched Square and the other with Making Memories
Country Landscape, then taped them together to use as my mask for inking. Inked up with Distress Ink in
Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord, moving upwards to the deepest colour. Stamped with Mama Elephant
Believe in Magic star cluster and
Winter Wonderland large star in Momento Luxe
Wedding ink embossed in white embossing powder
then added Mama Elephant Merry Greetings sentiment in black, and Wink of Stella
Clear Sparkle to the night sky. It felt like it needed a little extra boost, so I created a hand drawn outline in black fine-liner for added depth.
Playing along with
Less Is More One Layer Starry Starry Night,
Mama Elephant and Me Holiday Cards and Tags,
Color Throwdown,
The Pink Elephant CAS and
City Crafter Christmas CAS.

I have a place in my heart for lovely scenes or landscapes. This is a jaw dropper and a wonderful take on our theme. Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!!
ReplyDeleteThis is super Lyndal, using a similar technique as I did too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrific scene!
I think you may have slightly gone over the number of combined challenges we allow at LIM... it's 5 max.
Thanks so much
