Treasured Heirlooms

Happy Tuesday! I have another card from the release party last week. I used images from Life is Good and a sentiment from Sweetest Memories for this card. Here are the deets...

I started by sponging very lightly with Blush Blossom (SU). Next, (not pictured) I sponged lightly, around the Blush Blossom, with Pretty in Pink (SU).

Sponged with Almost Amethyst.

Sponged Lavender Lace.

Next, I used Post-it Notes to mask off the bottom and top of the cardstock. For the top masks, I tore the edges to make the horizon look a bit hilly. Then I sponged Basic Black on the uncovered area.

Next, I used the Direct to Paper technique. Using Vivid Inky Blue and Purple ink pads, I gently swiped the ink pads from the edge, inward. I followed that up with a bit of sponging around the edges with the same two colors.

I used the tree lined bank stamps from Life is Good along my horizon line. Since I'm too lazy to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig if I don't have to, I trimmed my stamp to show where the midpoint of the stamp is. That made it easy to line up along my horizon line.

Here is how it looked after stamping.

Since I wanted a silhouette look, I used my black Copic to fill in the top portion of the image and N7 for the bottom (reflection).

Sponged a bit of Basic Black along the bottom.

Stamped the cattails from Life is Good in the foreground.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from Sweetest Memories. I layered with Pure Luxury White & Black Onyx and used a Vibrant Violet cardbase.

Thank you for visiting. I hope your day is filled fun and stamping!
