Northern Lights Technique

Posted on October 1, 2020October 11, 2020 by Josee

Happy October! Who loves fun backgrounds?? If you do, you’ll love trying out the Northern Lights Technique!! Even though I’ve been a demonstrator for over 18 years, this is the first time I’ve tried it! 😉
I’m pretty happy about how they turned out, hope you like them too! 🙂

Directions for Northern Lights Background:

  1. Cut up a Stampin’ Sponge in 6 wedges and use one piece for each colour you use.
  2. Pick up colour from the ink pad using the wide part of the sponge. To apply to the cardstock, you can squeeze it a bit so that you are adding colour to a more specific section. You can either use a swiping motion or a circular motion to add colour.
  3. I started with the yellow colour in a few spots, then added the other colours around it.
  4. You will find it looks better if you overlap the colours a bit so that they blend together.
  5. Sponge Misty Moonlight around the top and the sides in a circular motion.  Add enough ink to create a deep colour that looks like nighttime.
  6. The great part of this technique is that there is no right or wrong way and you can keep adding a bit of colour until you like your background.

Tips for this card:

  1. Create a background as directed above. Swipe the colours on an angle.
  2. Use the Chalk Marker to add dots and a few swipes for stars and shooting stars.
  3. Stamp the girl with Memento ink on scrap Whisper White and cut out using Paper Snips.
  4. Use the Sweet Silhouettes dies to cut out the two dandelions. Use Wink of Stella to add shimmer.
  5. Cut out the frame using 2 sizes of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Add Wink of Stella.
  6. Adhere the background to the card, then adhere then frame on top.
  7. Adhere the stem of the dandelions to the card using Stampin’ Seal and the top of the flower using a dimensional.
  8. Adhere the girl to the card using dimensionals.
  9. Stamp the greeting on Whisper White cardstock using Memento ink, then use the Sweet Silhouettes die to cut out. Add to the card using dimensionals.Product List
