Simon Says - Look To The Night Sky

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

LOOK TO THE NIGHT SKY

I created a sparkling starry night sky using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask Stencils and Starry Mini Layering Stencil from Set 31, Dusty Concord Distress Spray Stain, Distress Oxide Spray and Gilded Foundry Wax, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Christmas Magic and Bold Text 2 Thinlits.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", fixed the moon mask blank in place temporarily and spritzed Dusty Concord Distress Spray Stain and Distress Oxide Spray on to the panel, spritzed with water and dried. I remove the blank mask and inked through the matching detail mask stencil with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a tiny blending tool.

I stamped the branch image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mr Bones, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink on to the panel.

I die-cut the cityscape from Distress Watercolor and Black HeavyStock and layered slightly offset to create a highlight. I over-stamped with the plaid stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mr Rabbit, inked with Simon Says White Pigment Ink and fixed to the bottom of the panel using Distress Collage Medium.

I applied Distress Black Opaque Texture Paste through the Starry Mini Layering Stencil from Set 31, sprinkled with Simon Says Gold Ultra Fine Embossing Powder and heat set once the texture paste was dry.

I die-cut the sentiment from Distress Watercolor and Distress Black HeavyStock 3 times, using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bold Text 2 thinlits and used the negative die-cut as a template to position the first set of letters.

I fixed the rest of the Distress Watercolor card letters in place using Distress Collage Medium. I layered the Black HeavyStock letters, applied Gilded Foundry Wax on the edges using a small paintbrush and added to the panel to create dimension.

I added splatters of Gilded Foundry Wax, heat set and splatters of Dina Wakley White Gloss Spray. To finish I matted the panel on to an A2 panel of Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to a white card blank trimmed to 4.1/2" x 5.3/4"
