Hello Crafty Friends! I have a card for you today using a stamp set from the new Dream Big release called On the Horizon! Its a beautiful silhouette stamp set full of lots of different scene builder images.
Here is a list of items I used to create this card…
- Paper
- Dies
- Ink
- Sentiment Strips
- Pretties
- Shimmer Spray
- Tools
I started by grabbing a panel of the Simon Says Stamp 130 Ultra Thick Card Stock. This is my favorite cardstock for ink blending and while I didn’t do ink blending, I had a panel out that I decided to use for stamping.
I started with the lightest color of the new Pawsitively Saturated Ink blue trio called Marine and the part of the stamp that looks like the ground. Instead of using it as the ground, I flipped it upside down and used it to create this gradient background. I started with the Color Marine, stamping off to achieve the lighted color and then stamping onto the panel. Next, I used Marine again at full strength, adjusting to ensure that I overlapped the first stamp, but also shifted the paper to make sure that the curves of the stamp weren’t aligned. For the third row, I did a double stamp of Marine. For the next color (Cadette), I did an off stamp and then a full stamp, make sure I shifted the stamp ever so slightly. To finish the panel, I used Royal stamped full and then double stamped. Once I had the background done, I set it aside and started working on the hills.
I used two dies from the LAYERED HILLS Wafer Dies set to create the hills. I glued them one on top of the other and then onto the panel. I then went to work stamping. For the Moon and Stars I used Embossing Ink and White Embossing powder.
When I had the card how I wanted I finished it up with a white shimmer mist to add to the starry effect!
This is a BEAUTIFUL release, so be sure to check it out!
