Lats nights TAC-nique class was so much fun! This was my favorite technique that i taught last night - it really is a neat one! I stumbled upon it while surfing a few weeks ago and could not wait to try it out. I changed it a little to use a solid image stamp instead and I really darkened it alot more to give more of a Sillouhette look. You can see the step by step directions here.
Stamps: Love and Laughter and Ordinary Greetings stamp seta from The Angel Company
Ink: Violette and Raw Sienna Palette Ink
Paper: White and Brown Cardstock, Yellow 3 matchmaker and Violet Bazzill
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, Sponges, Piercer, hole punch, Misc. Ribbon
A few tips for my way - start by sponging the yellow on the center of a piece of white - leave corners white so you can really get them nice and dark with your "Night" color. When applying the night color on top - rub harder with the sponge around the edges and tap lightly closer to your moon - that gives more of an effect of the moonlight shining.
I have swap cards to make and mail today - and DJ's football scrimmage tonight. Fun fun! I just might do that cleaning I have been putting off too! Maybe not!
This is an awesome technique, as were the others but this one is my fav. Thank you for sharing

Heather,
I drew from your tutorial and created on of these on my own. Mine is some what the same but a bit different on the tree. I love this technique and am looking for something else to do this with.
