Instructions
Step 1: Use the Domed Blending Foam to apply ink to a piece of white cardstock measuring 4” x 5.25”. Start with Paradise Teal on the lower third, add Cobalt to the middle third, and Deep Purple to the top third.
Step 2: Stamp the mountain silhouette image in Jet Black Archival using an acrylic block.
Step 3: Trim the card panel to 4” x 2.75”.
Step 4: Use the Liquid Pearls to fill in the moon section of the silhouette image. Set this aside until it is completely dry. Once dry, mat the card panel on a piece of black cardstock measuring 4.25” x 3”.
Step 5: Treat the card panel with anti-static powder and stamp the 'keep shining' sentiment with embossing ink. Pour White Embossing Powder over the stamped image and tap off the excess. Use a Heat Tool to melt the powder.
Step 6: Attach the matted panel to a white card base measuring 4.25” x 5.5”.
You're done! Your card is ready to send.
I’m Jess Francisco from Love, Jess or @lovejessco. I live in Chesapeake with my husband and our sons who are 7 and 4 years old. They keep me busy, so most of my crafting is done while they’re in bed.
I have been creating for as long as I can remember, but I started my card making journey in 2015. I have learned so many techniques and added so many new products to my growing list of favorites. Now that I have a few years under my belt, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with the crafting community! You can find me on social media as @lovejessco or Love, Jess.
