Moon Lake is a retired stamp set but one that I can’t see me removing from my personal stash. It’s a really useful set for a masculine card. This card came about after watching my friend Julia make a card with this set using black and white and I wondered about  adding just a little colour.

So I stamped the image in Jet black memento ink (since this was before I had my new favourite, the Stampin’ Up! archival basic black ink) onto whisper white card. Using an aquapainter with very little water, I added some garden green to the boat. To keep the card from being too stark, I stamped the image, from the not retired Stampin’ Up! Cottage Greetings set in garden green. A small basic black mat behind the white gives the image a good frame and then I decided to have a good amount of the card base visible to pull all the green together.

I like how this card came out, I’ll have to look at my current sets to see other options for adding just a touch of colour.

See you tomorrow,
