Northern Lights Stamping Technique & Sleigh Ride Edgelits

The Northern Lights Stamping Technique has been on my list to share with my Stamping Club for quite some time and last month I finally got around to it.  Long Distance Club Members will get their packets this month.

Northern Lights Stamping Technique

• Supplies: 
• Stamping Sponges, various Ink pads (Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy)

• Instructions:
• On a panel of Whisper White, sponge ink colors to the top 3/4's of the panel starting lightest to darkest inks (Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry). 
• NOTE: Use more of a swipe and/or circular motion (vs pouncing). 
• Depending on the size of your panel, you may want to add additional swipes of sponging
• With a circular motion, sponge Night of Navy around the top and two sides of the panel filling in and around the rest of the top 3/4's area. Really press hard to get a deep "night" color.  Occasionally lightly swipe into/over the previous colors.  This is where the magic happens.  There is no right or wrong way.  It might take a few practice panels to get the look you want.  
• Stamp tree image with black ink
• Add finishing touches:
• For a winter scene…stamp snowflakes with Whisper White craft ink over the sky and finish with a panel of snow and Sleigh Ride Edgelit at the bottom of the card.
• For a summer scene…use a Gel Pen to add stars to the sky and sponge Old Olive to the bottom of the card for grass, or add a panel of grass and trees edgelit at the bottom of the card.
• Every time you do it, it will look different.  Have fun experimenting!
• See it in action with my How'd She DO That? video below
