Back from holiday on a special day



We have just returned home from our Devon holiday, but more of that on another day.

The 2nd of October 2010 is special in the rubber stamping world, as it is dedicated to world card making day. Knowing I would not get home in time to make a new design actually on THE day, this autumnal one was made before I left....but I am posting it today LOL.
This design used a background made from applying various shades of ink directly to white cardstock ( pad to paper starting with lighter colors first) and using a circular mask to give the impression of a moon.
Over the background, using Black Stazon ink, I stamped a Sparklensprinkle image Yard Flowers 0880-268B.
After coloring the flowers, I applied some SparklenSprinkle glitter across the moon and mounted the finished design on to copper colored paper.
Two hinged brads were used as decoration as indeed was some complimenting leaf vellum paper and orange sheer orangandza ribbon. I hope you like it.
