Shoot for the Moon Card II (LMMS Challenge #161)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge Blog. It's #161, Anything Goes Challenge.

For this challenge I made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Shoot for the Moon Card II. :o)

For my card I used beautiful LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Shoot for the Moon Sentiment' digital stamp. I love it!! :o)

This is my second take on this digi. I went with same layout, size and similar design as on my first card I made using this digi. You can find my first card here.

I already had a layout template saved on my computer. I printed it out directly on a card base, for which I used a white cardstock paper. To prevent ink smearing, I left the image dry couple hours. 

I mixed a Distress Ink Hickory Smoke with a lot of water and used that for shading. When I was satisfied with shades, I masked the Moon and splattered card front with Distress Ink Hickory Smoke mixed with water. I dried splatters using Heat It Tool. Then I watercolored the Moon. I used Distress Inks Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber.

Lastly, I glued two black star stickers on the card, which look same as stars on the image, and my card was finished. :o)

I like this "negative" night sky look. I will definitely use this design again using other stars and Moon images I have. :o)

Card dimensions: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")
