Hello again! I am so excited to be guest designing at AAA Cards for their challenge #126 Moonlight.
It's October and moonlight may make some think of a Halloween card, but since I don't do Halloween, I made a CAS Christmas card.
Started by diecutting a circle mask from post it note for the moon and positioned it in the upper right corner of an A2 size Whisper White panel. Masked off the bottom, then blended Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue and Sapphire inks with a mini blending tool for the sky. Removed the circle mask and added details to the moon with C00 and C1 grey Copic markers. Splattered white acrylic paint for snow, but stopped after a large splat landed and I got nervous about ruining it.
Removed the bottom mask and black heat embossed Santa's sleigh and sentiment. Next, die cut a couple of branches (retired Memory Box die) from black cardstock and added piles of snow on them with a white gel pen. Adhered the branches to the panel, then mounted the panel to a white card base. Added more snow to the scene with a white gel pen. Clear shimmer added to the moon finished off the card. Wasn't able to capture the sparkle in the photo.
Hope you will play along. For more inspirations from the AAA team, click HERE. Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

This is just spectacular and a perfect take on the challenge!
Trina, this is absolutely stunning! Beautifully CAS and yet such a detailed scene! I particularly love the snow you added to the branches - I didn't realise they were a die - thought they were stamped until I read your blog!
Thanks for being our GD at AAA Cards this fortnight!

Congrats on your GD spot at AAA cards. Your card is stunning, I love the layout with the image at the top of the card and all the white space below. Your blending has a perfect gradation of colour.
This is a wonderful Christmas Eve sky, Trina! Your sponging is always so even and perfect! Love the details on the moon and branches! Just enough splattered snow! Congratulations on your Guest Designer spot!
Congratulations on guesting at AAA Cards, Trina!
Your card is just stunning! What a gorgeous sky and moonlight you created! The shades of blue, the white acrylic spatters, the gel pen snow, the shimmer of the moon, and the perfect masking - all these wonderful elements are packed in the top one third of the card. All the white space below is just there to enhance the beauty of the images. Fantastic card!
