Metallic Mountains

Have you seen the new scenic stencils from A Colorful Life Designs?  They are so wonderful and so easy to work with.  Another bit of news is that A Colorful Life Designs just released their first stamp set!  I used one of the stamps on this card today along with two of the new Mountain Edger stencils.

I decided to try something different with these scenic stencils.  I started with some black cardstock and I placed the Mountain Edger 1 stencil down in the middle.  I used a special sponge to apply some gold Pan Pastels to the black paper following the edge of the Mountain Edger 1 stencil.  I removed this stencil and placed the Mountain Edger 2 stencil down just below the previously colored mountain.  I applied some bronze Pan Pastels to the paper by following the edge of the Mountain Edger 2 stencil.  Because of the chalky nature of the Pan Pastels, I sealed the scene with some workable fixative.  

To complete my card, I stamped the sentiment from the new Altitude set with Versamark and covered it with gold embossing powder.  After I melted the powder, I used a gold paint pen to add the stars.  I wanted to stick to the metallic theme of this card, so my artistic license extends to creating gold stars.  :-)
