more color monday – night of navy, old olive, and basic beige

When I saw the frame die from the Winterly Tree Tops I knew it would be one of my favorites! When I saw the negative space from the frame die I got the feeling of looking up into the night sky. So I decided on this card for this week’s More Color Monday challenge.
Today’s More Color Monday is all about Night of Navy, Old Olive and Basic Beige!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic Beige CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Old Olive CS: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3/4″ x 4 1/4″

Take the negative space from the Winterly tree Tops frame die. Using a Blending Brush with Night of Navy ink.
Use a water painter and add a few drops of White Craft ink into the Craft White ink pad cover. Add a few drops of water and stir the ink and water with the Water Painter brush.
Using a bone folder tap the Water painter over the Night of Navy inked negative die.
Brush the edges of the Old Olive cardstock layer with Old Olive ink.
Adhere the Night of Navy layer onto the Old Olive cardstock.
Adhere the Old Olive cardstock onto the Basic Beige cardstock base.
Stamp the “thinking of you” sentiment onto a 3/4″ strip with Night of Navy ink and die cut with the banner die from the Greetings of the Seasons dies.
Brush the edges with a Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink.
Pop up the banner onto the card base. Hang over the edge with the hole end of the banner die.
Cut the edge off the banner.
Adhere the Basic Rhinestones Gems around the sentiment.
I love the look of this card as if it is a beautiful evening and the stars are out and one is looking up through an opening in a copse of trees.

Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’,
