Variation On a Theme

Same stamp as yesterday, different approach.

I wanted the sky on this one to have a semi-realistic/semi-distressed feel, so this time I prepared the mountboard by dabbing white acrylic all over it, rather than wiping it to make brush strokes. This made it randomly lumpy in places and it has trapped colour more in some places than others.

The trees were stamped and embossed with black sparkle embossing powder this time, but I felt they looked far too black, so I smudged some white acrylic over them to make them look a bit more foggy. The bottom half of the stamped image was covered with sponged on white acrylic. After using my finger to create the moon on some previous pages, this time I used the wooden end of a tapestry stamp, as I wanted a more uniform circle. I hope you like it! :o)
