Starry Nights

Hello and Welcome
I've got two cards for you today.
Similar themes with the trees, but two different techniques.

I do love scene cards, especially ones with trees.

So here's what I did to create my card #1.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and positioned my Marvelous Rectangle Mask over it, centering it to give my a nice, clean white border when done.
• Using an acrylic block, I rubbed on some Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and a bit of Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink, sprayed with water and pressed it onto my masked panel.  I love how the water has lifted some of the ink to make what looks like a starry sky!
• I placed the masked panel into my Misti and stamped the Winter Woodland trees with some Versafine black ink.
• I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment right down into the right corner.
• I mounted the panel onto a piece of dark blue cardstock then onto a heavy white card panel.

Supplies
Stamps- Winter Woodland (Penny Black); Everyday Sentiments (YNS)
Inks- Distress Oxides; Versafine
Paper- heavy white (Scribes Nook)
Accessories and Tools- Marvelous Rectangle Mask (A Colorful Life Designs)

Here is card #2.
Like I mentioned above, still a similar theme but I used all leftovers for this one.

Here's what I did to create this card.

• Every time I play with my Gel Plate, I keep some extra paper at hand to roll off the excess paint from my brayer. Too much paint on your Gel Plate results in a poor lifting. This background was the result of that and it is a good way to not let your excess paint go to waste.
• Using another inked leftover painted piece, I die cut the Tim Holtz Tree Line and then glued it over my brayered painted panel.
• I stamped the sentiment and then splattered the whole piece with my white Posca pen.
• I mounted it onto some blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Supplies
Stamps- Season's Greetings (The Old Island)
Inks- Versafine, Acrylic Paint (Dollar Tree)
Paper- heavy white (Scribes Nook)
Accessories and Tools- Tree Line Die (TH); Posca Pen; Speedball brayer
