For Ky's MIX challenge - Mix590 - Exotic Vibes (May 17, 2024) by Scrapacat at Splitcoaststampers
Inspired by enjoying the clear skies and starry nights when we camp in the summer. I still remember the first time I realised why it was called "The Milky Way", when sleeping outdoors in southern France. I don't expect we'll see Northern Lights this year, but they fancy the sky here up a bit. Not my best attempt, but I didn't have time this morning for a third go, and DH correctly identified that that was my intent. Northern Lights Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I couldn't decide whether to stamp first or create the sky first - in the end I did the sky. So then, after stamping and embossing with clear EP, I bleached out the interior of the tent, and added metallic watercolours to the stars and moon which had been embossed black the same as the foreground of the image. Along with the spattered white ink that gets me in under the MIXed media radar. Base sponged with chipped sapphire, image panel edged with a gold pen. I wanted to add a sentiment that wouldn't stand out, and when I pulled out this die set, ADVENTURE was there already cut, I remember using the negative of it for another card. The V was missing, but I managed to find a scrap of gel print in my box that was a good enough match to cut it and sub it in.
