Polar Northern Lights

Good Morning Ladies,
The dogs are busy running in and out this morning. Dude tried to make off with a toy into the back yard. I caught him and the toy is safe inside.
The card for today is Polar Northern Lights
I am still playing with the mail art Monday technique from Viva Las Vegas Stamps a couple of weeks ago. Too much fun.

This time around I went with lighter colors for the northern lights. I used dye inks and make-up sponges to create the northern lights. An ice float was stamped at the bottom. It is an image from Third Stone Stamps. Crystal laquer was added to the ice float to make it look like ice. The polar bear die is from Gina Marie. The sentiment is also from Gina Marie. The snowflake is from my old stock.

Northern Lights Stag

Good Morning Ladies,
I was off to the dog show this past weekend. Dude and I had a great time. We slogged through the snow but we didn't notice it to much.
The card for today is Northern Lights Stag

I decided to give the Northern Lights another try. This time I tried it on digital glossy cardstock from Marco's. I still used dye inks and make-up sponges. The colors come out lighter on this cardstock. The trees are an image from Stampscapes. It was stamped three times. At the bottom I added snow with liquid pearls. The liquid pearls picked up the ink from underneath and it looks like the lights are shinning off of it. The stag was cut from black cardstock using a Memory Box die. The snowflake is from my old stash.
