Θαрут να παίρνεις今日 και να καταστείτε ένα εξωμελί αγάποη currency using products from the latest release that include this adorable cat on top of a moon. Υπάρχει also a matching stencil as well as a matching dye which I'm going to use for my card today. A really unique design which features an adorable card that I cannot resist and it is called dreamy cut. Now the cut on the moon would make a perfect focal point for a standard A to size card but it would also work on a slimline card and the idea is to extend the design somehow by having dangling stars coming down from the moon. I have a long slimline panel here out of a navy blue cardstock and I cut it out using this set of ties by Altenium. This set not only cuts out the panels but it also adds a lovely detail along the line that makes it look really finished and I don't know if the camera cuts that detail but you will see closer photos at the end. By the way if you don't have those ties the panel size is 3.5 x 8.5. Now lately I am kind of obsessed with a dark navy blue cardstock and I keep on using it again and again on my backgrounds. One of the things that I like to do is to go all around the edges with a darker shade of blue which is going to help the cardstock to look even brighter at the center. I am using here my blending brush by Altenium and the ink is called Arctic Mountain. It is a shade darker and you can see how lovely it shades all around. It doesn't matter if you don't have the best blending although this brush really makes it easy. I am going to add splashes, I am going to add my focal points, my sentiments so nothing is going to look imperfect at the end. Also when it comes to those blending brushes I don't have a bunch of them, I have just one for every color family. So I just wipe it off on a clean cloth or on a paper towel and I move on to the next color. It is advised not to mix oxide inks with other inks however I don't have any issues with that. I just use this brush for all the blues no matter which type of ink. All I do is just wipe it nice and clean on a paper towel. Now this panel is supposed to be my sky and I want to have some gold splashes all over the place to look like stars. They are going to be shiny since I am using this metallic palette by Altenium. I didn't show that on camera however I did a test how those splashes are dropping on a scrap piece of paper since I don't want to have any bigger blobs. The color I used for the palette is the gold pearl and I absolutely love it. It is my favorite golden color because it is warm. I am going to lift the paper and try to catch the light for you. This is going to dry really shiny. And now it is time to do the stamping. I will stamp all the elements that I need to put my card together. So I will go with the cut on the moon. I will also stamp the little fish as well as the speech bubble. You can now use your favorite color medium to give some color on the images whether they are your colored pencils or your alcohol markers, your watercolors, whatever. Today I decided to go with the matching stencils. It provides a quick and easy way to color your images and you can get lovely blending looks without the fuss of alcohol markers. You will see how easy I am going to use my inks to get that look. Always make sure to use some washi tape or low-type tape like I did here to secure the stencil in place and then you can go over your area with your blending tool and your ink. For the moon I started with a very bright yellow which is citrus burst and since I don't want to have a flat color but rather a blended look I am going with a warmer color which is honey drizzle. I am going to add that only on one side of the moon. This is really easy to do especially with those small brushes and you will end up having a moon that doesn't look flat but rather dimensional. Plus I didn't have to fight with my alcohol markers to get the perfect blending especially in such a big area. Then I cleaned up the stencil and rearranged that on top of my images. This time again I went with low-type tape and this time I am going to color the little cut. Of course you know me, I just have to go with oranges for the cut always and the first color is snap dragon and then I will add some shadows on top by using marigold. Now again here I am using the small blending brushes by Altenew and this is where the new mini blending brushes come in handy since I have to add shadows on such a small area. These are really easy to add detail on blending so you will see that I will be able to add the darker color only at the bottom of the tail and you will be able to see the result when I lift the stencil. On this type of coloring you don't really need to know a lot about where the light hits etc. Just add some shadow here and there. It is going to turn the image looking dimension and then it is going to look just fine at the end trust me. Now I am going to work on the cloud. This time I am going to add just a touch of silver lake which is a very light gray ink at the base and if you notice I did use my blue blending brush I don't have one dedicated for grays just make sure that you wipe it off nicely and I want to oversaturate that cloud but still this touch of gray at the bottom is going to give some dimension. The stencil also gives you openings to color the ears and other smaller parts but I am not going to bother I am just going to use a light pink for the inside of the ears and I will continue in the same manner bright green for the fish and then finally for the blanket and the pillow I am going with a mix of rose quartz which is this lighter color and then I will add purple wine for the shadow. I absolutely love how you get the perfect blending in no time plus you cannot go outside the lines. After I had everything colored I used the matching dies to cut them out and I wanted an interactive element on this cart with dangling stars coming out from the bottom of the moon that's why I used a small star die that I had in my stash and I die cut six stars out of gold foiled cardstock I am going to stick two of them back to back and in between I am going to sandwich a piece of this thread This is again an Altenewg golden thread I am going to place that and you can see how I sandwich that in between the two stars I am going to pinch that with tweezers and let it dry as I am going to repeat the same process for the rest of the stars I will end up having three of those stars with the thread on top At the back of my die cut moon I am going to add a piece of double sided tape I will peel that off and this is where I will secure the three dangling stars You can spread them around if you want I wanted to have all three of them close to each other and I am also making sure that they are not going to end up at the same height This is going to add more interest on the cart Now all three of those strings are secured at the back of that double sided tape I will use my scissors to cut off the excess thread and then you know me I like to have dimension so I will add foam tape at the back of this piece and of course I am going to make sure that the foam tape is going to go on top of that thread This is going to secure them even better and I will know for sure that they are going to stay in place I am sticking down the moon I added something interesting on that long cart by having those dangling stars at the bottom of the cart I am also going to stick down the cloud and of course is dreaming of feeding a fish Now at this stage I just have to grab my marker and add that detail at the top of my cut just to make her look like my ginger and here is how my panel looks at the moment with all those dangling stars I absolutely love an interactive element on a cart I think it always brings a smile on a recipient Now all I have to do is to stick this panel on a pre-folded cart that is 3.5x8.5 and it is going to fit nicely in the standard business cart envelope Here are some close up photos on the cart that I made for today I hope that you had fun, that you got inspired You will find links to everything I used down below in the description area And don't forget that this is part of a blog who passed we celebrate the 7th anniversary of Alte New with over 40 prizes to be won Make sure to visit my blog to find all about it
