My card features images from my newest set, for Gina K Designs, called Mountain Wilderness. This set, along with all the new release products with be available tonight at 7pm central, from Gina K Designs.
I started by cutting a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock to 2 3/4 by 3 3/4 inches. Then I used a small sponge dauber to sponge a bit of Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Then sponged Memento Angel Pink all around the yellow.
Sponged Memento Lulu Lavender around the pink.
Sponged Memento Grape Jelly, from the edges.
Stamped the mountain, from Mountain Wildnerness, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I stamped the row of trees, also with Tuxedo Black, but this time stamped off on scratch paper once to make a lighter image. I had to stamp the image twice to extend across the width of the paper. Also, you can see I had a little inky smudge I would have to address later.
To color the mountain, I started with BV13 Copic.
Added BV11.
Then filled in with BV000.
I stamped the mountains again, this time upside down to create a reflection. This time I stamped off the ink twice on scratch paper to make the trees even lighter. The tree silhouette image is symmetrical, so it is very easy to make reflections with it.
I used my N3 Copic to loosely shade in a mountain in the water. I also started adding some shading to the base of the tree line, hoping to mask that smudge a bit.
Added a little more shading with N5 and finally satisfied that the smudge isn't all that noticeable.
I cut a 1/2 inch circle in a sticky note to use as a mask for a moon. Then I sponged lightly with Memento Paris Dusk at the top and also a bit at the bottom.
I removed the mask and added a little highlight to the moon, using my opaque white gel pen. I also stamped the branch on the side, once with London Fog and once with Paris Dust (stamping off once with the Paris Dusk to make it lighter).
I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Vibrant Purple. The card base is Pure Luxury Lovely Lavender and finished size is 4 1/4 by 5 1/5 inches. The score lines were added to the card base using my Scor-Buddy. I added the vertical sentiment, stamped on white and adhered with Pop Dots.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
