I used the stamp of the Month with the Raven Detail Ink and stamped it out twice on the Perfect Blend Alcohol Marker Cardstock. I also stamped the fire from S'more Coffee the same way. I colored all of three of these images in with a variety of Copic Markers and fussy cut them out with my Brutus Monroe Detail Scissors. I used a black marker to go over the edge of my cut out images, which hides any imperfections during the fussy cutting process. I also used my black gel pen to go over the eyes of the bears (and made a second "open eye" on dad to make their faces look alive.
Next I cut down my white card base to 7" x 8.5" (scored and folded at 3.5" and set it aside for now) and used the leftover piece for my card front which I cut down to 3.5" x 8.5". Using two blue Distress Oxide inks (Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire-I believe), I used my Ranger blending foams to create a night sky not blending all the way to the bottom since I would be covering that up. Next I used just a touch of Black Soot Distress Oxide ink to bring in a little bit of darkness around the edges of my night sky. I placed this background in my splat box and used some Pearl Aqua Pigments (which I watered down on my glass mat) to flick some "stars" on the background. I also used a little bit of watered down white watercolor to flick on some more stars.
Next I looked through my scrap bit to find some green cardstock and used some dies in my stash to cut out some hills and trees for my scene. I also found a set of very small star and moon dies from my stash and cut them out from white cardstock that I had painted with Pearl Aqua Pigment (and a wee bit of Yellow Sparkle Aqua Pigment). I attached all of my diecuts to my card with liquid glue and then arranged my little bear and his dad around the cozy fire. I used some of the Yellow Sparkle Aqua Pigment to add some sparkle to the fire and I also used just a bit of the Yellow Sparkle in the area of the sky before I attached the moon.
I left the panel to fully dry overnight, and then after treating the area for my sentiment with an antistatic tool and stamped the sentiment "You make me a happy camper" from the S'more Coffee set with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink, covered with the Alabaster Embossing Powder and heat set it. Finally I glued the whole panel to the front of my card base to finish off my card.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great week.
