WINTERLY TREE TOPS
This Winterly Tree Tops is an upcoming bundle that will be in the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog. Demonstrators who are attending the Creativity Now Event in June were able to preorder it early! I must say that I LOVE this set…it is pretty easy to work with! This one I went the extra mile to make it an “over the top” card! Did you see I have the single bird facing in BOTH directions? That’s a fun mirror technique! And the paper pinecones were fun to make!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Mossy Meadow cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The speckled stamp from Layering Leaves was stamped randomly over the entire front with White Craft Ink.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mossy Meadow was cut with the evergreen frame from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies.
- Four extra evergreen branches were cut from Mossy Meadow using the Dies.
- The frame and single evergreens were sponged with White Craft Ink, then some White Pearlized Enamel Effects was applied on top for some texture and shine then allowed to dry. It was added to the front of the base card.
- The single bird was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White cardstock. A second bird was inked with Smoky Slate Ink and stamped on the Silicone Mat, then another piece of Basic White was pressed on top of the wet image and the back rubbed firmly. This transfers the mirror image!
- They were colored with Light Balmy Blue, Light Boho Blue, Light Gray Granite, Light Crumb Cake and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
- The regular bird was cut with the Dies and the mirror bird was hand-cut. They were added to the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from the new Greetings of the Season (Online Exclusive) was stamped with Smoky Slate ink on Basic White and punched with the Labeled with Love Punch. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The extra evergreen branches were tucked around the greeting and the birds with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- To make the pinecones, I cut the large scallop circle from Pecan Pie cardstock with the Round We Go Dies and then cut inside to make a long spiral strip. I was able to get the three pinecones from the one circle. They were rolled up and sponged with Pecan Pie Ink. They were added to the front with Monoadhesive Glue. Fun!!!
- Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added under the bird next to the greeting with a Mini Glue Dot.
I think this card definitely qualifies as one “over the top”, don’t you? OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
