Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For today's card, I am using the Hero Arts Christmas Color Layering Stamp set. I am using non-traditional Christmas tree colors. I stamped the Christmas tree layers using colors from the same color family. I used a Misti Stamping Tool so I can re-stamp the image, if needed.
I created a mask to be able to create a scene of trees, with some appearing to be at the back of another tree. Fussy cutting the tree mask seems challenging but the mask need not to be perfect.
Depending on the mask you are using, sometimes it is difficult to ink the area between the image and the mask. I used a Tsukineko Fantastix blending tool to apply ink to those missed spots.
I embossed the last Christmas tree layer, adding Wow! White Puff embossing powder. With the use of the Misti Stamping Tool, I re-stamped the last layer on the same spot with Versamark ink. I added Judikins Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder, and heat embossed it. The White Puff adds dimension while the Iridescent Sparkle adds shimmer.
I stamped the tree trunk with brown dye ink.
I stamped the sentiments on the tree using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I poured black embossing powder to the stamped sentiments, and heat set it. I used the Misti Stamping Tool on this step, too. Because of the textured snow, it took several re-stamping before I got a crisp impression of the sentiment.
I blended a light blue ink on the panel. I stamped snow flurries to the background using the same light blue ink for a subtle background.
I trimmed an 8th of an inch on the long and short sides. I adhered this to a blue colored cardstock cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", then adhered it to a top folding A2 notecard.
I added star sequins to the top of the trees. I drew a snow slope using a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
