I'm afraid my card is really quick and easy one (I promise I have got more creative stuff in the pipeline to show you soon) which is for my friend's birthday which falls on Halloween.
The card is made from a regular card blank which has been matted with black paper and then white card. To create my third square which is inked, I simply made a mask from post it notes prior to inking with Distress Inks. The moon has been water bleached before over stamping with the fantastic image Owl Tree by Kira Nichols. To finish I added a rub on sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Fab colours used in the background Claire. That is an interesting technique, water bleaching the moon shape. Interestingly enough, Stik brand have now made full sheets (A4) for masking bigger images than post it notes, could come in useful.. Great card, those owls are very spooooky! x
ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous card Claire and the simplicity is fabulous to showcase the great image. Love the inky panel too - very effective.

ReplyDeleteFabulous card for a Halloween birthday, love the pretty colors of the skyscape!
ReplyDeleteLove this card! The bleached out moon is perfect.
ReplyDeleteRight, so... I have no clue how you masked that with a post-it to get the middle (my dopey brain is thinking wouldn't the ink be round the edge instead of the middle?) I have no clue what water bleaching is... but I do know this card is just gorgeous. That background sky is just perfick. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, this is brilliant. I love it! Such an amazing background! That Moon just shines through and those little owls sitting on the branch are well cool.
