Moon light inspiration

Hi there peeps thanks for popping over to see what's new.
  Hope your well out there and hope you managed to get some of that beautiful sun yesterday?
  Sadly the sun is no longer shining so the moon light will have to do and is the inspiration behind this blog.
  Whilst being unable to sleep  and the moon was shining so brightly through the window BAM an idea!!Silly o'clock and I have to have an idea it was far too cold to get out of bed seriously gimme a break eh?
  I have finally managed to blog the idea now though so I hope you like?
  I grabbed my Clarity tree stencil and Tim Holtz chipped sapphire distress ink oh and Clarity moon mask and smooshed on said ink with my Clarity stencil brush,remembering of course that I needed a hill/rocks mask from copier paper.Once happy with the sky came the hill's turn and inked that with pumice stone and added a little peeled paint for added greenery.
    I then removed the stencil and went around the outside edge of the moon with chipped sapphire on a sponge to give the moon a bit of a glow then removed the mask and stamped my wolf one of the lovely Sheena Douglas stamp sets I have.
   It was then I decided the moon needed more interest and using lake mist Adirondack ink and Clarity stencil I dabbed some through the bubble stencil only to go over it with Wink of Stella clear glitter pen (very brave for me as I loathe glitter in any way shape or form).
  I got even more brave and started to zentangle the tree and the outer edge!
        I added some stars and darkened some area's with a charcoal pencil added the sentiment also from Sheena's set.
       The paw print stamp is from Ali Higginbottom that I purchased from Newark last year so it definitely came in handy or paws?
                             And viola there you have it my howling success I hope?

Many thanks for stopping by

I did it!

First day of this blogging malarkey and I don't have a clue.
 Honest to a fault me!

First let me tell you my name it's always a good start eh?
I'm Nikki Moldjord but my good friends call me Moldy its not rude or offensive to me in fact I like it because I am odd/weird/strange like that.
 I wanted to set up this blog to share my love of crafting and pass on ideas or tips as I love to share.
I will keep this short and sweet as I don't want to bore you to tears on my first ever post!
So the picture/craft project I would like to show today is one of my recent makes whilst away on a wonderful crafting retreat  in Norfolk with a few of my wonderful crafting buddies from the East Midlands Clarity workshop.A great time was had by all but it was tinged with sadness as one of our lovely friends couldn't make it due to being poorly just days before.
  But I digress.The card I made was for my daughter Katie as she loves anything fairy tale or mystical or unusual.
 Technique is simple just using Tim Holtz distress inks festive berries,seedless preserves and spiced marmalade  on super smooth card grab your inky tool and swirled ink all over the card until I was happy with it.I borrowed some of my friends Lavinia stamps(Thankyou Wendy) and stamped in archival black ink.The 8"x 8" card blank I used Card-io stamps randomly around the out side and then mounted the fairy/owl topper onto black paper then attached to card blank.
    Katie was very pleased with it as am I too but shhhh don't tell any one it's a secret!
                   Many thanks for taking the time to read my first blog hope I didn't bore you too much?! Hope you come back soon...........
                                   from yours truly Nikki aka Moldy xx
