This technique was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. The artist created the impression of Northern lights by sponging Night of Navy on Pear Pizzazz card stock, stamping trees on the bottom with Night of Navy as well as Mossy Meadow ink. I do not know who created this card, and if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit.
I cased the idea but added elements of my own. I not only did this technique on Pear Pizzazz card stock, but also on Mango Melody and Cherry Cobbler card stock as well.
Night of Navy ink was sponged around the edges of Pear Pizzazz card stock, leaving an area in the middle uninked.
The trees at the bottom were from Merry Moose and were stamped in Mossy Meadow in both first and second generation stamping, as well as Night of navy.
The finished piece was matted with Pear Pizzazz and a 3/8" crinkled whisper white ribbon coloured with Pear Pizzazz marker was added near the bottom. Some gold elements from the Laser cut DSP was added under the left side and the die cut work "happy" (Well Said) was adhered over the ribbon. The remainder sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of Pear Pizzazz and added below the die cut word. The finished card front was the adhered to a Night of Navy card front.
The stars in the sky were made using a white gel pen.
Gilded gems were added randomly to the card front.
Card #2
After this card was done I used the same technique, only now on Mango Melody card stock.
This time I used the tree stamp from Mountain Air to stamp the forest. The Cardinal was left over from another project.
The card front was matted with Mango Melody and then added to a Basic Black card base.
Card #3
Finally, Night of Navy was sponged on a Cherry Cobbler base. Die cut trees from Mountain Air straddled the sentiment on the bottom.
