I used 4 different stamp sets for this card. Mountain Air, Sailing Home, Artisan Textures, and Itty Bitty Greetings. This card uses white embossing powder for the moon, mountains and water marks. I also used blends to define the mountains, and to color the lighthouse and sailboat.
Project Recipe
On the 5" X 3 3/4" Night of Navy Cardstock, stamp the Mountain image in Memento using the backside of the stamp, (the flat side).
With Versa Mark, stamp the right side of the Mountain image over the the black image, slightly below so that some of the black image will show in the background. Also at this time, you can stamp the moon in versa mark. (MAKE SURE TO USE YOUR EMBOSSING BUDDY.) Emboss with white embossing powder.
Now, using Memento and the backside, (flat side of stamp), of the treeline image, stamp over the bottom edge of the mountains, so that it looks like there is a shadow in the "water". Also at this time, use your heat gun to dry the ink good, so that when you emboss your water marks, you don't get embossing powder in places you don't want it. I prefer to use Memento rather than Staz On because the Staz On will make the mountains too dark.
Stamp the water marks from the Artisan Textures stamp set. Stamp a few times with Versa Mark. MAKE SURE TO USE YOUR EMBOSSING BUDDY. Emboss with white embossing powder.
Sponge Memento Ink in the sky and the water with a piece of sponge or you ink dauber.
Stamp the light house and sailboat in Memento Ink on whisper white card stock and cut out using the dies if you have them, if not just fussy cut.
I chose this sentiment from the Itty Bitty stamp set and stamped it in Night of Navy and punched it out using the Classic Label punch.
Using Blends color the Lighthouse and Sailboat. I used Dark Night of Navy, Dark Daffodil Delight and Dark Old Olive on the Lighthouse. Dark Night of Navy, Ivory and Bronze for the sailboat. I used the color lifter to highlight the front of the lighthouse. Use the Dark Night of Navy Blends to color all the white leftover on both images so that there is no white showing except for on the lighthouse down the side and around the railing on top as shown.
Adhere card front to 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic Black Card Stock. I used black twine to wrap and tie a bow with at the bottom of the mountains.
Using dimensionals, adhere cardfront piece to Thick Whisper White Base. I cut mine 11" x 4 1/4" and scored at 5 1/2". With dimensionals adhere lighthouse, sailboat and sentiment piece.
