I have another fairly tone on tone card to share with you. Yesterday’s card was a masculine one using Mossy Meadow. Today I have a fun generic one that stars Misty Moonlight.
Stamp set
This stamp set is one of the Fun ones in the Mini Catalog. I tend to gravitate towards whimsy and animals. So of course this one had to come to my house. It truly is a generic stamp set that is fun. I opted for the Hugs and Kisses but there is a Birthday that fits as well. And I love that it fits the 2 3/8 Circle Punch. Punches are a favorite of mine and I love when sets fit punches and Dies that we already have.
The tone on tone made color choices easy here. I stamped everything using Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the circle first to get placement. Then I layed the top words, which are one stamp, and the bottom words, which are another stamp, on the circle. I could pick it up with the clear block and have my spacing perfect. Easy peasy!! The pup is stamped on scrap and fussy cut to pop up in the center.
Papers and Colors
The card base is Misty Moonlight, as was the ink used. And the DSP is from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Actually this Misty Moonlight sheet is the opposite side of what I stamped the trees on for yesterday’s card. This paper is very versatile!!
To keep this in the tone on tone, more or less…..I only added a thin white layer behind the DSP. But I did not want only the white focal layer. A quick and simple fix was to punch the same circle from Misty Moonlight card stock. It gives a sort of shadow look. The layers are 3 3/4 X 5 for the white and 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 of the DSP.
Finishes
To complete this card did not require very much. I looked at a variety of embellishments to even include ribbon. But nothing seemed just right. So I added a trio of the New Regal Foiled Adhesive Back Dots from the Mini Catalog. And I couldn’t be happier. The bit of gold fleck in the blue really shows off.
