I kissed two backgrounders, Tartan and Canvas. Weave which is one of my favorites for giving the cardstock texture is on the green layers.
The kissing and stamping the background was done with Ranger Pine Needles distress ink, and then I sponged on some Tea Dye which also was sponged on after the tool distressing.
My inspiration for the scene is from some northern lights photos I was viewing on the internet. IÂ’ve had this scene done for about three weeks and just decided today it had to be put to use.
The scene is very easy to create; I tore a piece of paper as my mask and secured it on top of the image to cover the grass area then just streaked on the color with sponges.
Stamp the moose first then the trees, next the grass and bring it up over the ground area to look more realistic. Pine Needles ink covers the grass area.
