Hi Stampers!
This week’s Dynamic Duos DD81 “Your Choice” Week uses Midnight
Muse and your choice of color. As much
as I love Night of Navy, I also love Midnight Muse- it has such a rich deep
color.
I hope you will find the time to visit the rest of the fabulous
Design Team projects- they did a fabulous job with this color challenge!!
I also used a winter theme for the Stampin' Royalty SR204 Challenge- they have a wonderful Design Team and all of the entries can provide so much inspiration as well!
To create this card:
To create this card:
Use Sponge Daubers and torn sticky notes to create the sponged
background- first sponge Pool Party Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock as
you mask the sky area
and the snowy hills.
Add a few shadows on the hills using Midnight Muse Classic Ink and the
darker areas in the sky.
Ink the tree from the hostess set, Warmth and Wonder using Midnight
Muse Classic Ink and stamp off onto a piece of scrap paper before stamping onto
the sky line area. Repeatedly stamp the
trees along the sky line and stamp the foreground tree using Midnight Muse
Classic Ink (without stamping off first).
Stamp the deer image using Midnight Muse Classic Ink and if needed,
fill in any lightened areas using the Stampin’ Write Midnight Muse marker as
well :-). Add a few shadows for the tree and deer using the Sponge
Daubers with the Midnight Muse Classic Ink and the marker.
Trim to size and mount onto Midnight Muse cardstock, trim and
mount again onto Pool Party and Midnight Muse cardstock.
Add a few highlights to the snow banks using Two-Way Glue and
Dazzling Diamonds glitter (the glitter is very difficult to see in the photo :-)).
Use Midnight Muse Classic Ink to stamp the sentiment onto
Whisper White cardstock, punch out using the 1 ¾” Circle Punch and layer onto
the 1 ¾” Midnight Muse cardstock circle (cut the Midnight Muse cardstock circle
in half and adhere behind the sentiment circle allowing the edge to show on the
sides).
Adhere a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the Midnight Muse
card base and add the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper (DSP) panel (also mounted
onto Midnight Muse cardstock).
Mount the focal image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals® as
well as the sentiment.
Add the 3/8” Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon triple ribbon
bow and Rhinestones to finish off the card.
