I like using white ink but it is quite opaque so I realised I would need to build the scene up in layers if I didn’t want the stars to show through.
I started with memento black and stamped the bottom area using one of the larger waterfront stamps, I kept stamping until I was happy that the dsp pattern wasn't showing through. I then stamped the mountains, trees and moon, again in black.
Once the black ink was dry, which only took a few minutes I stamped in the following order - mountains in white, mountains in smoky slate and then the mountain peaks in white. Next the moon in white then in so saffron followed by the trees in white then shaded spruce, lastly I stamped a white streak to look like light reflecting off the water below the moon.
The sentiment has been stamped in night of navy and comes from the Butterfly Gala set.
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, the paper really does do 'night sky' perfectly.
