Winter Wings

Winter Wings is a card inspired by some of the creative work by Theresa Momber. I created this card for a challenge at Gina K's Stamp TV website. I recently started posting on Gina K's site and I discovered a wonderful opportunity to participate in some fun challenges. This is the site if you are interested in joining in on the fun! http://stamptv.ning.com/



Measurements and Supplies
Focal Image: Gina K Designs "Winter Wings" Illustrator Asela Hopkins, Inspiration: Theresa Momber
Background Image: Gina K Designs "Tree Silhouettes"
Pure Luxury Cardstock:
Black Onyx: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in
Moonlit Fog: 5 1/4 in x 4 in
Pure White and Black Onyx cut with Nestabilities die Label 11
Forest Branches embossing folder
Memento London Fog Inkpad
Adhesive of choice
Glue of choice
Scor-pal


Background was sponged with Memento Ink "London Fog"



Snow line masked and sponged with Memento Ink "London Fog" Trees were inked with London Fog. I added some shadows to the trees with Copic marker C3.





The Layer of Moonlit Fog was embossed with "Forest Branches" and muted with Memento ink "London Fog". .





Focal imaged stamped with Memento "London Fog".

Imaged was colored with Copic Markers C6, C4, C2 and C0 After uploading the picture, I discovered the eye was too light. I have since, darkened the eye with C6and it looks much better. I cut the focal image out with a pair of sharp scissors.



I applied craft glue to the back of the focal image and allowed it to dry in order to add strength to the image.



I muted 2 brads with Copic Marker C6 and assembled the card.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed creating the card. Thank you for taking the time to look at my site.

Hugs,
Marie
