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:

This is a great way of getting a bold image over the background embossing Karen and I adore the colours and the large open sentiment on the strip over the top looks wonderful. x
