Hi everybody! Welcome back to Day 5, the last day of my Growing in Unity week, as it's coming to an end. It's been amazing! Thank you Unity for choosing me! And thank you all for coming back each day. It's been so heartwarming reading through all your kind and encouraging comments. But it doesn't have to end... Let's stay connected!
Click below (or in the right sidebar) and follow this blog on Bloglovin; or join my FB sharing group and share your cards too; or follow my other social media channels to see other projects I'm creating every month, and all year long!
I truly love our craft community and how kind and supportive you all are to each other. I've had a blast all week going through my Unity stamps to find some "new to me" stamps, some favorites to share, and coming up with some techniques. I hope you've enjoyed this week too!
If you missed a day, click above and follow along and comment on each day this week to enter to win (2) Unity Stamp Co prizes!
And the crafty adventure continues...
Today's project is another masculine card, "surprise!" (lol) Not! As I informed you yesterday that my whole week would focus on masculine cards. They are challenging at times and let's be real... we need more ideas and inspiration! So I hope you've enjoyed them.
Today I'm using a "new to me" background stamp and stencil combo, my ALL time favorite stamp set (the moose), and more heat embossing! I was inspired by the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, through Canada, and all the way to Denali National Park in Alaska on my many travels.

On this card I used the Woodland Layers Stamp and the Mountain Scapes (stencil), because I've never used them before, and OH they make some gorgeous backgrounds!
First on white cardstock I created the mountain background with the stencil, blending brushes, and a few Distress Oxide Inks:
Mountains: Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans
Sky: Fossilized Amber and Rusty Hinge
Next I placed the angled tree stamp from the Woodland Layers set in my MISTI stamping tool, inked it up with Distress Oxide Inks-Pine Needles and Black Soot to darken the tress. And removed from the MISTI.
To create the lake I inked up my MISTI with Distress Oxide Inks: Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Brushed Corduroy and sprayed them with water. And dipped a water brush into the inks to "paint" in the lake and a beach or land.

Then I placed the moose in the MISTI, inked it up with Distress Oxide Inks-Brushed Corduroy, Rusty Hinge, and Walnut Stain, and stamped on a white piece of cardstock. Wiped off the ink, and re-inked the antlers with VersaFine Clair Ink-Pinecone, stamped the moose again, removed from the MISTI, sprinkled with clear embossing powder, and heat set.
OH! Isn't he handsome? I just love him!
This one I call Color/Clear (colored pigment ink/clear embossing powder)
for the Moose.
I love this technique when you have endless colors of "thick" or pigmented inks, but not all the pretty embossing powder colors.
