Sometimes I love going into my craft room with an idea, but no fixed formulation about what I am actually going to make. I have seen some gorgeous cards on Stamp Junkies on Facebook (it is an amazing group, if you have not seen it before, I highly recommend joining the group, the cards are fabulous.) The cards were twilight scenes using some tree stamps, I decided to create my own card using the free as a bird stamp set. I have used a mask and blending brushes using misty moonlight and balmy blue. If you wanted a darker background you could use night of navy,

4 1/8 " x 5 ¾" (5.75” x 8 ¼ scored at 4 1/8)
Silver Foil – 3 3/4” x 5 1/2”
White layers – 3 1/2” x5 ¼”
The darkness of the birds depends on the darkness of the blends I used light basic black blend, but it also works with the dark basic black blend or the Basic Black Stampin’ write marker..
For the moon I added texture using the blending brush, but it was too dark so I used a finger dauber with Craft white ink to add texture to the moon and cover my boo boos.
I am planning on trying the technique on the Peaceful; Deer Stamp Set in the new July to December catalogue. Do you prefer the lighter of darker birds.
