Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a grove of Aspen trees!
ASPEN GROVE
Of course, I had to use my new Aspen Grove stamp set. Each of the trees are separate images so it makes it easy just to use a couple trees together!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 layer of Early Espresso was added on top.
- The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Basic White was stamped with three trees and a couple limbs in Early Espresso Ink. They were colored with Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
- The three sizes of leaves/flower clusters were stamped and stamped off with Crushed Curry Ink randomly around the top of the trees, and in the open area at the bottom right.
- Some Pool Party Ink was brushed in the background with a Blending Brush. The layer was added to the Early Espresso layer.
- Some Linen Thread was tied in a loopy bow and added to the front with a Mini Glue Dot.
- The Prayers & Promises Greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake and cut with the Nested Essentials Die and added over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This stamp set is SO much fun! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
