Across the Miles

Hi there! I'm glad you stopped by my blog today! Today I have my second card for January for the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge.

 I recently acquired a couple of Clearly Besotted stamp sets. and I used the New York scene for an across the miles card, since most of my cards go back to Scotland at Christmas time.

The scene and sentiment were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink at the same time using the stamping platform.

This was heat embossed with Clear Detail embossing powder.

I made a mask for the "sun" die cutting a post-it note with the Spellbinders Standard Circles die set.

The mask was put over the sentiment and I sponged the open area with Distress Oxide ink Fossilized Amber.

I stamped the city scene on to another post-it note and fussy cut it out to make a mask for the city also. and then using the inside circle of the first mask I masked of the yellow sun, before sponging the Iced Spruce and Faded Jeans inks.

The little Christmas tree was colored with green Copic and the torch was colored with yellow Copic. The front was layered to a black base before the white card base. A black and white baker's twine was tied across the top of the card to finish it off.

Below, you can find a complete list of the products used in my card today.
