'Without Darkness' Card

  Hello!

This week I decided to create a card without really knowing where it was going to lead...

1) I decided to choose my first colour by just reaching for the first bottle of distress oxide spray that I came to and it was Candied Apple.  I sprayed it on one main area of a piece of watercolour cardstock then dried it...

2) As the first colour was red I decided to then repeat the process using Wild Honey and next Squeezed Lemonade...

3) As the colours were quite fiery and the spray reminded me of the sun or a planet I let that guide my choice of stencil and colour.  I went for one of the texture discs and Black Soot distress ink...

4) As the card was now developing a celestial feel I chose the La Luna stamp set and added some of the elements using black archival ink...

5) I wanted some contrast so added some white gel pen dots.  However this did take on some of the distress oxide colour from underneath, but I quite liked the effect.  Then to create more of a frame I blended some more Black Soot distress inks around the edges...

6) Finally I stamped out one of the sentiments and after edging it with more black adhered it straight to the front of the card.  I then decided to add a few more of the stamped images to the card blank before adding the decorated piece to the front...

Here are the products used:

* Distress Oxide Sprays

* Texture Discs

* Distress Inkpads

* La Luna Stamp Set

* Moons and Stars Sentiments Stamp Set

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
