Hello
Today I just wanted to share a little tip with you but
before you say "I've already seen that card"...Well you have, or rather a similar one.
Some of you were interested as to how I did the moon on my cards and I did explain that in the post Here.
But I thought you'd like to see another version, done slightly differently
For this effect, after inking the blue BG I then 'stamped' very lightly with the ink blending tool in Fossilized Amber DI where I wanted the moon to be...
Then I took a clean damp sponge and swirled over it like I did in the original post.
Two different moons but both equally effective don't you think?
Enjoy your day

I am 'over the moon' (pun intended lol) with your moon cards and your gnome cards...I just adore this card to pieces!!!
ReplyDeleteI have loved seeing your gnome cards Ros and I think your moon looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

I love these gnomes cards Ros, they make me smile and thank you for explaining how you did the moon which works so well, and the tree and the fun sentiment are great. x
ReplyDeleteso sweet Ros, Beautiful background for those adorable gnomes. I can't believe I haven't pulled them out for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteI bookmarked your other moon card so I could make a point of trying it, and now I'll have to try one like this, too. You make the most realistic moons! Thanks, Ros! Your gnome is darling with his gray beard and silver pom pom!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous,Ros. Thanks for the tip on the moon. I use a lot of moons on cards and I really like this effect.
ReplyDeleteOh, love your sweet little gnome, Ros! Lovely background and the moon is just perfect! Amazing card as always! Take care and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for explaining how you made the moon, Ros! Now I look at an ink blending tool differently. :-) The "new" moon looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful and the gnomes are adorable, as always!

I love both your gnome cards and moons, Ros. Thanking you for sharing another version of your moom and can never see too many cute gnomes during the holidays:-) Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love this Nordic- looking gnome. The moon looks great and I also looked at your other moon post and this one is a bit more defined. Great techniques and thanks for sharing your techniques.
ReplyDeleteYes! Both are equally effective and equally stunning, Ros! Do you now have a lot of moon backgrounds to use on future cards?! I can see where swirling moons could become addictive!! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove that moon. Stunning coloring work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips Ros. Adorable card, great sentiment and loving that gnome x
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Both ways make some awesome looking moons. Your way gets that softness effect so that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
ReplyDeleteLove this one, too, Ros! Wonderfully designed & stamped! PS--thanks for telling me about the AAA challenge, but SSS limits the challenges you can enter, so will have to make something else.
ReplyDeleteMore gnomes! Yes! For me they even eclipse the gorgeous moon(s)...
