A blue night

I know I am jumping from leaves to snowflakes and back again but it’s that time of year. This was one of those designs that evolved as I went along. I first embossed the stamp in clear on white card. I then started sponging with Memento Nautical blue and added some definition on the scrolls at the base and in amongst the pine trees with a navy marker. At some point I decided to make a hint of a hill so I positioned a post-it note mask and added some darker blue sponging above the mask and around the edges of the panel. The panel is matted in white then popped up on a white card base.
Thanks again for all your kind comments; I am enjoying popping by your blogs to see what you have been doing and love to hear and see when you have enjoyed a technique you saw here on my blog. If you’re looking for the One Layer Wednesday challenge it will be on Karen’s blog tomorrow.
Supplies:
Stamps: Crystal Drops (PB)
Inks: Memento Nautical Blue, Paris Dusk & Versamark(Tsukineko)
Also: Clear e.p.

Wow, This is really beautiful! I will have to try this technique, too. I know what you mean. I’m thinking Christmas and still working on a few last minute halloween cards. So many ideas, so little time.
Don’t have a problem with skipping from fall leaves to snowy trees! This is lovely. That hint of a hill — so subtly defined. Liked the marker touch too. Another thing to try. Thanks for sharing a lovely card and your work is so inspiring. Thanks for being so generous with your creativity. Hugs
Heather, this is breath takingly lovely. The depth of the trees and the scroll work caught my eyes immediately. I love your cards!
This card is absolutely beautiful!
Love the depth of colour you achieve on all your cards – this one is lovely with the flourish at the bottom. Great techniques!!
Love your creations heather, they are so fantastic and lovely. Also your last one.

Another stunning card – you make a bit of sponging look like magic 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Very striking – love the depth of colour!
Love your use of colour on this design.
I am so in love with your sponging technqiues, you really have a nautural talent and eye for
this! I have just got a few Jumbo daubers but found that my momento inks don’t transfer well onto my card, (a smooth white printer card which is all I can buy here in France). Any ips would be appreciated! I bought some post it notes today…I can’t wait to have a go at making snowy hills! Thank you so much for your nspiration…I want to ink like you when I grow up!!!!!
Breathtaking! I just love this!
Beautiful! I love that handwritten-looking sentiment.
Love your cards. This one is just breath taking. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful!
