IMG_5906
Hello Friends, How was your weekend? Weekends just never seem long enough don't you agree? Today I want to share with you a speedy way to create a moon with shapes and markers.

This was my husbands Valentine card. The sentiment is from SRM Stickers and if you haven't tried them out... now's your chance because they are on SALE hereThe inside of the first card reads "& Always"

This is my quick card and below I give a little description about the texture on the loving couples sweaters. By the way this stamp is called "Tom & Tilly" from Penny Black and I was so excited to ink it up when I first saw it.

Let's get started on that moon. Die cut or punch a circle out of scrap paper. Position the circle where you want the moon. Take  a light blue Copic marker and sweep the marker over the circle starting inside the circle.

This is how it looks when you are finished.

To highlight the moon or to give it some glow use yellow or grey. I added grey in the corners of the  moon pulling the color up into the moon but, not all the way.

This photo explains why the only portions of the image is colored on the left. I love dimension so I like to take these extra steps but, on my simple card the dimension is with the white butterflies.

After coloring their sweaters (I adding a little shading) then, I stamped on top of the sweaters with this and this. You may notice that I drew tiny "x's" in the squares on the blue sweater with this Copic multiliner marker.

This is my heart shaped moon created with this Spellbinder heart. For these sweaters I colored them the same way as the other card. Once the ink was dry I used this on a rag, dabbed in on top of my colored sweaters. I also used this method on her skirt on the other card.
