I had a customer ask to learn do do sky backgrounds with sponges and daubers so I created this card, Peace and Joy, for the Come and Play Card Buffet.
It involves masking by using a circle that you lightly tape down for the moon and sponge around. The mask prevents the ink from getting into areas you don’t want it to.
You add more ink and go over areas you want to have the darker color; less ink and go lighter when you want it lighter. Trees are done in Black Archival Ink. I did them in both first and second generation stamping to create depth in the scene. The sentiment “Peace and Joy” expressed what I wanted about a serene night scene. It was stamped in Sapphire ink to make it more soft and subtle.
Inside the card, I stamped the trees and another sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by.
