Minnesota Loon at Night

Today I used three new Kitchen Sink Stamp Sets, the Multi Step Minnesota Loon Clear Stamp set and the Multi Step Tiny Norway Pine Clear Stamp set along with the Ocean Water Clear Stamp set. (Sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps.)  I remember seeing the Loons in Minnesota as a child and later on as an adult.  I love to listen to them, it's sort of haunting but beautiful at the same time.  So, I tried to capture a memory of a Loon I saw in the moonlight on Leach Lake near Walker, Minnesota.  It was so impressionable with the reflection of the full moon on the water and the pine trees in the background, I wanted to see if I could reproduce that memory.  I hope you like it....


The recipe for this card in order that I stamped them:

For the Multi Step Minnesota Loon Clear Multi Step 

#3 Tuxedo Black Momento SU
#2 Basic Gray SU
#1 Smokey Slate SU
Blendables Light Basic Gray and Dark Basic Gray  SU

For the Multe Step Ocean Waters
#1  Tuxedo Black Momento SU
#2 Basic Gray Su
Sponged Dapper Dan Lightly along with Smokey Slate SU

Moon was a 2 1/2 Inch circle
Sky sponged with Basic Gray and Dapper Dan Su

Tree tops of Tiny Norway Pines used on the Horizon stamped in
Tuxedo Black Momento SU

Paper used was Basic Black and Dapper Dan SU

The sentiment is from the Tiny Norway Pines Clear Stamp set KSS
