This fortnight's challenge has been chosen by Michelle. The theme is "Night Time".
I have made a very simple card using this beautiful Stampendous stamp CRR131 Crowscape.
- I cut a panel of thick white card slightly bigger than the stamp.
- Use a circle mask where you want the moon to be.
- Blend distress inks onto panel (I used Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Chipped Sapphire)
- Keep it lighter in the middle to create a sort of halo effect around the moon.
- Remove mask and stamp Crowscape with Versafine Onyx black ink pad.
- Trim and layer up as shown.
Don't you just love the crow in the bottom right hand corner. It comes from a Stamper's Anonymous set called CMS 091 Haunted Mansion. It's awesome!!
All these products are available from The Stamp Man. The website has just had a great makeover, be sure to check it out!!

ReplyDeleteHi Siobhan, just spotted your blog through Hazel Harler's. Don't know if you remember me from KCUK Stamp Camp, but I also popped into the shop last year when I was up staying with Linda Turner. Off to add myself as a follower. BTW, love the artwork, x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing stamp, Siobhan. It's so lifelike, just like looking out of the window at the winter moon through the trees. Your moon halo is beautiful.
