WINTERLY TREE TOPS
I decided to use the Winterly Tree Tops Die as my stencil! I placed it on the Basic White cardstock and colored with a Blending Brush and Soft Sea Foam Ink. Then I cut Garden Green cardstock with the same die and layered it so it was slightly off set from the stenciled layer! Gives a cool shadow look! I also used the new Christmas Labels Bundle since the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle doesn’t have a Christmas greeting in it.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded. Set aside.
- The Winterly Tree Tops background Die was placed on top of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock and blended with Soft Sea Foam Ink using a Blending Brush.
- Then the Die was used to cut the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Garden Green cardstock. I trimmed down the Basic White layer to fit behind it and slightly off set to reveal the “white” branches.
- The bird from Winterly Tree Tops was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Poppy Parade, Real Red, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight, Blueberry Bushel, and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the Die ad added to the lower right corner with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two pine branches were cut from Basic White cardstock and added under the bird.
- The greeting from Christmas Labels was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on scrap Basic White and cut with the Christmas Labels Die. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the branch under the bird.
- Some blue Tinsel Gems Three Pack were added to the label and background.

This technique was fun and easy to do! 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!
