Tall Trees

 

Welcome

Meet today's card.

Pretty simple to create using this lovely stencil called Pine Tree Duo.  It's just one of the new releases from A Colorful Life Designs.  

There are a few different designs and I think they would make wonderful all season or even great masculine cards.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• My card is an A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) so I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 3/4 x 5.  I like to have a border around my card base.
• I placed the panel into my Misti and rubbed over the whole thing with an anti-static bag as I wanted to heat emboss it.  I stamped using the Friends background stamp from HA with some Versamark ink and white heat embossed.
• Next, I laid the Pine Tree Duo over the embossed panel and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink with an inking brush.
• I removed the stencil and wiped off the ink left behind on the text, revealing the resist the heat embossing creates.  It adds great interest too.
• To add further interest, I used my ScorPal and added the perforated line beside the inked area.
• I stamped the Merry Christmas greeting onto a piece of white cardstock, then inked along the edges with some more of the Rustic Wilderness.
• I glued the inked panel onto a piece of blue cardstock that matched the background colour and then onto a heavy white card base.
• I pop dotted the sentiment over the panel, then added the little green gems.

Here is the stencil I used:
