Trish, girl! What a fun challenge...I can follow a list. And here's mine.
Texture: Cuttled the bottom with part of the Shell CBfolder. Makes it look like my Mr. MOON is walking along a path.
Embellishment: tiny brass star. A celestial lantern??? perhaps.
Yellow: well duh!!! Doesn't he have the perfectly shaped MOON face?
Stamp you don't use often: Both sentiment and MoonMan are inked for their first time. I don't dare say how long I've waited for the perfect opportunity.
And my one frustration: help someone! I have the worst time getting anything to stamp well with white ink. Any hints??? I would greatly appreciate the tip.
Thanks again Trish, I loved your challenge.
Editing as I can see on another computer how poorly this 'shows'. My sentiment says,
"May the moon light your path
till the wind sets you free"
sorry!

I love the texture and the faded white sentiment and the great ribbon. I don't know any tips for stamping with white. I often have the same problem. If I really want the white to stand out I emboss it.

You followed the list perfectly! I know I read an entire thread on different white inks last week, with several people stating that they emboss if they really want it to stand out.

This is so cool! I love your image and sentiment - I hate using white ink too - I know there is a secret out there - so if you find it, please share. I love the extras you added too - especially that charm.

From what I've experienced with White Craft Ink, don't push too hard into the ink, press firmly or bray to transfer, then let the image dry overnight. That of course is TOTALLY against anything I could do. When I 'm making a card, I'm inspired right then and itching to go. Waiting frustrates the heck out of me! SOOO I rarely use the stuff. Like others, I'd rather emboss white and move on with my project, but you can't always do that.
I love this card ESPECIALLY because the white is muted, as moolight would be. PREFECT. Excellent arrangement. Love it.
