One layer stenciled card & night sky frog spotlight

    Hello.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing a one layer night scene card.  This one features a frog spotlight and a surrounding night sky.

Sentiment:  Hey there good lookin'.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

This one layer stenciled card was fun to spotlight with layers of ink blending around it.  The frog is just too cute.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this one layer stenciled card & night sky.  To begin, stamp the frog, sentiment and the heart using Copic friendly ink.  Next, die-cut the card front panel to fit the card base.  Then, color in the stamping.  Also, mask a spotlight area around the frog.  I used a stencil piece for masking but any shape that covers the stamping will work.  Next, begin adding ink blending in three darker shades, from lighter to darkest, from the masking outward.  Also, heat set everything.  Then, add white splatters over the blending and heat set again.  Finally, remove the masking and adhere the panel to the card base, to finish.
