Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial


I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today.  We made it at my July card clubs. 

I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'.  I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.  

It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have!  *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th. 

After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little.  It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect. 

See the flap on the left side of the card above?  That flap holds down the front of the card.  So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?  

I created a free project sheet for this card.  You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025

And here's the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.
