Northern LIghts

I have seen several demonstrators show how to make a Northern Lights card.  I had always wanted to learn.  I have thought they are very pretty cards.  I started my search on how I wanted to make mine, watching several videos.  I found a demonstrator (Patty Bennet) who did some thinking outside of the box.  I fell in love with her technique and decided to case it.  

Using two different DSP's (Designer Series Papers) I grabbed the following supplies and began to create a vertical card:

Paper Snips [103579]	Stampin' Seal [152813]

Choosing a pattern to follow on the Simply Marbleous Paper I started blending the Granny Apple ink into the paper, following the pattern, making sure my markings went up and down, not just in one straight line.  That was followed by Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia and Night of Navy.

I then took my paper snips and cut along the horizon of the New Horizon DSP.  I stamped the trees where I wanted to place them on the DSP and my sentiment was stamped on the snowy part of the DSP. I then adhered both DSP sheets to the Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  The Basic White Cardstock was glued on the inside of the card to write my personal message on.  And there you have it!  It turned out gorgeous.  I just love it!
