Luna Moth

 Luna Moth

This is a big Luna Moth that will fit across an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") card as you can see in pic.  For this purple (yes, purple but in the pic it looks blue) Luna moth I stamped it, blended colors in the image, then fussy cut it out.  There is no die for this moth at this time, but maybe Unity will have one in the future...otherwise I'm ok with fussy cutting it out.  I layered a 4" x 5 1/4" of the Moonborn Flight paper onto a base card.  I didn't have paper to match the color ink I used, so I just blended the same ink onto the base of the card before I adhered the pattern paper.  Next I adhered the fussy cut Luna moth over the pattern paper, added word with mounting tape...added some inexpensive self sticking gems that I got at our local Dollar Tree store.  

stamps/supplies used:  Unity stamp co. Sacred Flight Luna Moth stamp set, Moonborn Flight paper pack

Now for my second card I stamped the Luna moth directly onto a white panel.  Again blended some rose pink ink for the wings plus yellow and brown inks onto the body of the moth.  Then I cut the panel down to 3 3/4" x 5".  I purposely cut off one of the wings of the Luna moth with the idea to make a bookmark with it later.

Next I ripped a piece of the pattern paper and adhered it over the moth.  Stamped word, and punched it out with an old oval paper punch, then mounted it on the panel.  Added some more of those inexpensive gems.  Adhered stamped panel to a black panel then the base card.  Check out the bookmark!  Can you figure out how I did it?  That's right it's the left over piece that was left after I cut down the Luna moth piece.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.
