Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  I know that this isn't the usual type of card that I offer on the giveaway, but I thought I would mix it up a little bit just to see if there was any interest in a clean and simple styled card.  Leave me a comment today if you would like to be in the drawing for this card.  Today's card showcases the Discover Your Wings stamp set from Taylored Expressions.  I have to admit, it was a bit of an experiment here as I just wanted to see what sort of look could be achieved with these stamps.  I stamped them first with just clear Perfect Medium to get a watermark look.  Next I stamped the same stamps across the bottom of the card using a black Archival ink pad.  I cut a mask with a circle die and sponged some white snow cap ink through it to create a moon in the background.  I dried it well with a heat tool.  I removed the mask and used the side edge of the perfect medium pad and swiped it across the sky area a few times.  I used some blue mica powder and dusted the swiped area, then used a tissue to remove any leftover mica powder.  I stamped the sentiment in the upper corner of the card.  Using a white gel pen, I added a reflective edge to the moon.  I cut the entire piece with the Grand Large Label die and did some matting and layering with black and white card before finishing with a double white pierced mat layer.  Perfectly flat for easy posting!  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.  Winner to be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
