Full Moon Silhouette Birthday Card

Hello Crafters! I can't believe that I've neglected my poor blog for such a long time but sometimes life just gets in the way. We went on an Alaska cruise which was incredibly beautiful and now it's something that we can check off of our bucket list and another state visited leaving just 7 more to go! Plus our "little" girl got married earlier this year which took up a lot of time planning during the last couple of years but it was so much fun! It was such a joyful wedding and she was such a gorgeous bride! Now I have a little more time to craft. It has taken me some time to get organized again and get my mojo back after a long hiatus but I had to start somewhere. And what better way than to finally use some of the crafting supplies that I've been buying, um collecting, all of these past months. 

The first set I pulled out was Harvest of Happiness from Gina K. Designs. I needed a birthday card for my son but I have some trouble creating masculine cards. So I 'CASED' a card created by Gina K herself! This is a 5x7 card.


I used the moon stamp in Harvest of Happiness and the largest part of the GKD Masked Circle Stencil to create a moon using GKD Sweet Corn & Pinkfresh Studio Bay Leaf ink colors. Then using the smaller part of the circle stencil over the moon, I ink blended GKD Turquoise Sea, Bubblegum Pink, Peach Bellini, Wild Lilac, Blue Denim, In The Navy, PFS Sapphire & Stargazer ink colors to create the night sky over GKD Blue Denim cardstock. I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink to stamp the silhouette branches twice over the moon and the silhouette background image from the GKD Friendly Silhouettes stamp set at the bottom of the card. To add the "stars", I splattered white gauche paint mixed with a little water with a paint brush over the entire card. After drying I die cut the panel and a piece of white cardstock with GKD Master Layout #8 and layered the two then adhered those onto a side folded 5x7 card base. The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment strip is from Mixed Messages Sentiment Sheet from GKD which I adhered to my card with dimensional foam tape.


I'm really trying to do a better job of making the inside of my cards as nice as the outside so I stamped a sentiment from the GKD Birthday Greetings stamp set and also stamped the same silhouette branches from the front of the card also on the inside.

Well that's all for today. I'll be back soon to share more cards that I've made recently. 
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
