I started with a blue card base. I used Taylored Expressions Downtown Border die and used the negative as a mask and sponged black acrylic paint to create the silhouette city. I sponged Blueprint Sketch distress for the sky and added a circle of white acrylic, also through a homemade mask, cos I wanted a yellow moon not a green one!! Unexpected forward thinking LOL
I used the Downtown Border cut as a stencil and sponged yellow acrylic for the lights in the buildings and the moon. I stamped Crafty Individuals Santa Sleigh stamp and embossed with black powder. I liked this enough to make a couple the same and since the masks were cut it was actually quite quick to reproduce. Think I may need to cut the masks from something other than card though. The city lights are a bit irregular. Maybe it's frosty LOL.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

Well, yes, I'm pretty sure it's frosty! Also, you are too much of a perfecktionist, Gail! I think your lights look just fine; so does your sponged sky, bright moon, and sweet Santa's sleigh silhouette!! Hugs, Darnell
