I started my card by stamping the Grid stamp to the lower 2/3 of my cardstock. It has a somewhat distressed look to it as I blotted off some ink with a baby wipe before placing on my paper. I punched out a circle from a Post-it note, and placed it where I wanted my moon to be. (if you leave the sticky part of Post-it note as part of your punched circle you do not required temporary adhesive)
Using multiple colours of Distress Oxide inks I layered up my inks to create the evening sky. Once I was happy with the sky, I removed the Post-it note mask and inked up my moon with the yellow. At this point I am not concerned with my yellow ink extending into the sky.
I inked up my stamps using Clearsnap Top Boss; any clear embossing ink will work, and sprinkled some Modern Gilding Powder in Gothic Black over top and heat set. It’s always a good idea to remove static from your card before embossing so the powder sticks only to the stamped image. I use an Embossing Buddy that I have had for years, but there are other options such as a Swiffer pad or Fleecy sheet that are supposed to work as well!
If you have not heard about Quietfire design’s Modern Gilding Powders...check them out! They are amazing, fine powders ready to add shine, dimension and interest to your die cuts and stamped images. There are six amazing colours and they are wonderful!
I finished up my card by adding some ribbon, sequin stars and of course a card base. I also added a quick dot of yellow to the eyes using my Dylusions paint pen. Now to decide which ghoul to send it to!
