Insightful Meadows


Good afternoon to you all,

Just a very quick post from me today to share a li'l ATC I made yesterday after I had finished making a card. This one was actually pretty quick, but I'm pleased with how it turned out - I have called it "Insightful Meadows I".


I created a smoosh background using Distress Oxide ink, then sponged more DO around a circle mask to create my moon. I then stamped my flower stamp twice - once in black and once in purple to give a sense of depth, then I background stamped my wording using 2nd generation grey. I highlighted everything with my Sakura stardust pen, added some wisps of mist using a pastel pencil, and attached three iridescent gems before matting onto black linen cardstock.

Stamps: Unity Stamps - Insightful Meadows, Lavinia - Keeping the Faith;
Media: Distress oxide inks (Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist); Versafine (Imperial Purple); Sakura sparkle pen (Stardust); pastel pencil (white).
