"Just because I Love you ..."

Its almost Valentine's Day and I've been on a card making spree. This is one of several I've made lately and I am fairly happy with.

After stamping my moose image, colouring it, and then masking it, I created the background 'sunset' using my Chameleon pens.Oh how I love playing with them! Before I started 'painting' with them I masked out my moon keeping in mind where I would be stamping and how I want my colours to fit for the reflection.

After creating the background I stamped an Impression Obsession stamp #J7789 in black ink. This is the tree stamp with the reflection. NICE stamp!!

Next was the 'grass' ... Again just coloured with my Chameleons in 2 shades of green.

Next up ... I used a Pine tree stamp I have and added to my card, filling in foliage around the moose and across the foreground, and removing the masks over the moose and moon I added more trees.

Now I used a fine black pen to enhance details on the whole scene. Stronger outlines on the moose and enhancing the trees, even drawing in a few things were I felt it was called for, including a few trees in front of the moon.

And finally ... I stamped the text (using one of my own stamps from my Digital Princess Designs line) onto green cardstock. I cut out my banner by hand and then used the edge of my ink pad to scrape the edges of it and 'scuffed' across it with the black pen a bit creating a 'wood' look. Foam tape to attach it giving it a bit of dimension.

And then ... layers. I almost always have at least 2 layers on top of my main card.

And there you have it ..."Just Because" ...
