The People Who Decide at Stampin’ Up! have decreed that Moon Baby will retire at the end of May. It’s such a sweet set of images and phrases, and it will be one of the special retired sets that makes it into my Permanent Collection.
{My Permanent Collection is growing, and I may have to revisit some of those choices. But not today.}
- Stamps: Moon Baby
- Color Palette: Brusho Moss Green, Prussian Blue, Yellow, Island Indigo, White
- Accessories: White embossing powder, Embossing buddy and heat tool, Brusho Color Crystals, Watercolor paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Wink of Stella, Ivory Stampin’ Blends
This was an early Brusho experiment for me, and one of the first things I noticed was that I liked the results much better using Watercolor paper. I was able to move the color around more easily and didn’t have to worry about over-working the smooth texture of Whisper White.
Embossing the image made it much easier to “color within the lines”. That’s not a hard and fast rule for me, but it was more appropriate for this image with a small face and hands. It’s amazing how I’ll get myself all whipped up about having to emboss something, and then when I sit down and do it I wonder why I make such a big deal out of it. Embossing gives you lots of bag for not very much buck and it’s a quick technique.
It goes without saying that Wink of Stella was a non-negotiable.
