Polly has a terrific Teaparty for us this week. We are making a scene and sending paper hugs to our dear friend Tonda.
The background was made using the smack & squirt technique - smack distress ink pad onto aluminium foil, squirt on heaps of water and scrub the inky puddles onto the cardstock.
To mask the moon, I placed a 3.5" circle die on a 5.5" piece of cardstock, keeping both the negative and positive die-cuts. When I got top the purple part of the sky I placed the circle mask on the cardstock and scrubbed on the purple ink.
I then used the negative of the die to cover the purple sky and applied silver VersaColor to make the moon.
The silhouette stamping would be impossible without my MISTI. Initially I used Memento Luxe (about 5 inkings), then I did 4 more inkings using Versafine onyx black.
I used Sabrina's terrific TLC615 challenge to make the tree trunk awning. Lots of sparkly Stickles were added, doodled a border, then adhered to a kraft card base.
I hope all of our cards will bring lots of smiles to Tonda. I wish we could all have a Teaparty together in real life!!
Thank you for looking and I hope you are having a happy, inky week.
