The Shadow Knows-Moose

I started this card by embossing the card base with an embossing folder. I highlighted the snowflakes with Memories Unicorn white pigment ink.

Next I used a TCW stencil to create the birch tree scene with distress broken china ink. I also colored the tree markings and shaded the trees.

The moose tag is my use of the shadow knows technique. I inked the moose with the same white ink I used on the snowflakes and stamped on Kraft paper. I outlined the moose with a VersaMark pen. But unfortunately the pen died shortly after I began outlining. I adapted LeighAnn’s solution and moved my pen on my inkpad. That worked for another brief period but then it appeared my inkpad was also dry. In a final last ditch effort I used tweasers to remove the fine tip nib ( approx. 2”) and determined the opposite end looked in great shape and also damp. Yeah, enough VersaMark to complete the tag! Thanks go to Tim Holtz for sharing this tip to use if a distress marker tip loses its shape.
