Lasting Beauty ~ Nocturnal Nature ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Why make one card when you can make two?! I ink smooshed a quick half sheet of white card stock so I thought... why not make two cards. So I did! I used the gorgeous new Nocturnal Nature for a couple of quick mixed media style cards. 

I ink smooshed the half sheet of white card stock using Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Inks. I was sure to leave some white in the background for contrast.

I stamped the grid and grunge stamps three times on each panel using Black Amalgam ink. I also stamped the sentiments alternating placement on each panel just to change them up a little.

For my first card, I die cut the panel using the second largest die in the Deckle & Stitches Nesting dies. I considered adhering the panel to a black card front but decided to ink smoosh another card front with the same three purples. I added foam tape to the back of my focal panel and adhered it to the card front and then adhered the panel to a white A2 top fold card base. 

For my second card, I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting dies and adhered it to a black A2 top fold card base. I set aside the cards and stamped the moths. I colored them with just a few Copic markers: YG00, YG11, and YG23. 

I fussy cut the moths close to the black line and popped them up on the cards with foam tape. And then I finished them both off with a few glitter enamel dots from my stash. I think these turned out pretty nice.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
