Skyfire Nights Landscape Card with Silhouette Die

Cut the skyline die from black card stock using your die-cutting machine. Using a craft tool or brush, gently tap out the small window details from the die-cut silhouette piece. Work carefully to remove all the intricate cut-out sections whilst keeping the main die-cut intact. Position the waste (negative space) from your die-cut as a stencil on white card stock. Secure it in place with low-tack tape to prevent it from moving whilst you work.

Using a blending brush, blend ink through the stencil to create a coloured background behind the skyline silhouette. Work the ink gently through the stencil openings to build up the colour gradually.

Cut a second skyline die from black card stock. This will be layered behind the first skyline to create depth in your scene.

Stamp the reflection, fireworks and sparkle details onto the white background panel using the cityscape stamp set. Position the stamps carefully to create the desired effect on your night sky scene.

Layer the black cityscape silhouette pieces at different heights on your card to create depth and dimension. Position the buildings at varying levels, with some higher and some lower, to achieve a realistic skyline effect.

Add sparkle accents to the water and sky areas using a dauber or sponge applicator to enhance the night-time effect. Apply the sparkle medium gently over the blue watercoloured areas to create a shimmering finish.
