I've surprised myself, a third card in one day! This was supposed to be a birthday card, but Hubby reckons it's "a bit dark" for a birthday card, so I will make another one.
For this card, I started off with a white piece of square card and stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Tree of courage" and "Tree of hope" using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
I popped a moon mask in postion then used Lavinia "Sundance" Elements Ink with a blending brush within the tree area. At the base of the tree, I used "Lime Punch" Element Ink to add more of a green tinge.
Next, I used a further three Element inks, around the edge using Dark Denim, Violet Chalk and Midnight Blue colours in that order.
I used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the three witches, which are part of the Lavinia Stamps "Blue Moon" stamp set.
I used Derwent Inktense pencils with a paint brush to colour the tree trunk and to add some background foliage and green shadows.
I then used a white gel pen and a black fine liner pen to add highlights and low lights to the tree areas. I also used the black fine liner pen to add extra shadow.
Finally, removing the moon mask, I used "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink to colour in the moon with a blending brush.
The trees using in their natural forms this time Sam and love the way they frame the scene with the bright gold and green light flooding in from the moon with the three fun witches, and then the denim, violet and dark blue around the edges to take the eye in to the wonderful scene. The bits of green coming forward from the trees make a really wonderful foreground too. The black and white pen work on the tree trunks adds great dimension and texture too. x
