Today I'm sharing a card that is out of my usual creative zone - lots of layering and interesting things happening, and oddly enough, I am super thrilled with how it came out!
I started off using the new Mod Layering Leaves stencil to create a background. I used 3 colors of distress ink for the first layer - Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, and Speckled Egg. I then added the second layer of the stencil, and used the coordinating oxide inks over the top! Love mixing these together - and they both have a different look and tone and texture, so it made the background super fun!
Next, I used the new Sun and Moon Mandala stamp set. This is a fun red rubber set, that separates into separate pieces. I stamped the outer portion directly over my stenciled backgroundI stamped and heat embossed the moon in gold on black cardstock, then carefully fussy cut that image out to mount with foam tape on the background. I then stamped the sentiment directly on the cardbase as well.
To add some more interest to the design, I added some pretty Metallic Gold Pearls in two sizes around the edges of the circle, lining up with the pattern on the background. Love the extra dimension, and how it pulls out the gold heat embossing on the moon as well!
While I usually tend more toward clean and simple cards, it was fun using so many layers all together on this one card!
