Still Moon created for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge 23 and recent TV show

I am loving the Colour Challenge this month – just my colours. I created this one as one of my TV samples for the recent Brusho’s show on the Craft Channel with the Design-A-Tree sets. Wasn’t Lesley brilliant!

Materials:

• Design-A-Tree Arboretum – Glade and Orchard sets, Landscape Edges and Words of Inspiration stamp sets
• 6X6 inch card blank, white stamping card and holographic mirror card for mounting
• Inkpads: Versafine (Vintage Sepia, Onyx Black), Distress Ink (Dusty Concord)
• Pebeo Drawing Gum masking fluid
• Brushos (Leaf Green, Turquoise, Ultramarine and Purple)
• Clear mica spray
• Alcohol marker (black) and fine tipped pen (black)
• Stickles glitter glue (Diamond)

Step By Step:

1. Trim the stamping card to approx.14cm square (slightly smaller than the card blank).
2. Stamp the trees in Vintage Sepia and the sentiment and birds in Onyx Black ink.
3. Draw a circle in the sky and apply masking fluid.
4. Prepare Brushos for painting by adding crystals to a little water in a palette. Paint the picture with the inks. Remove the masking fluid and drag some of the colour across the moon.
5. Spray the moon and central area of the painting sparingly with a little mica spray.
6. Add a little shading to the trees with the fine tipped marker, extending at the roots to anchor the trees.
7. Edge the card with black marker and blend Distress Ink in from the edges.
8. Mount onto the mirror card and glue to the card blank. Finish with a little glitter glue for moonlight sparkle on the branches.
