Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we are working with a sketch and Colour Challenge.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the mountain scene card:
Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
I stamped the detailed mountain image in Starry Sky ink across one of the Basic White panels. I cleaned the stamp, adhered it to the block with the detailed side against the block and inked up the reverse with Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped this off on scrap paper before stamping it over the detailed image to provide a shadow.

The detailed line of trees was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at the base of the mountains. I inked the image again, stamped off onto scrap paper, turned the image upside down and stamped again in the foreground. I stamped multiple times until all the ink was gone.
Using a Post It Note, punched with a 1” Circle Punch I placed it in the sky overlapping the mountain range. I used Sponge Daubers to add Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight ink above the mountains to indicate a sunset. I removed the mask and added a little Daffodil Delight ink to the moon.

Using Orchid Oasis ink and a Blending Brush I added Orchid Oasis ink to the top of the card. I finished the sky with Starry Sky ink around the edges to add depth to the sky.

A couple of groups of birds were stamped in the sky in Starry Sky ink and I used the same ink to darken up the ground.

I was really happy with how this card turned out and I really love this stamp set.
