Stamping 411 – Patterned Pines again

December 18, 2009 By Connie | 4 Comments

It is time again for Stamping 411's sketch challenge!  Selene gave us another great sketch this week!  I hope you'll play along, even though it is a busy week for everyone trying to get ready for Christmas!

Yep…I love this set, Stampin' Up!'s Patterned Pines!  I'll be sad when I have to stop showing it with my samples, but I'll still keep it in my "must keep" pile! 

For my card, I also used some non-traditional Christmas colors!  The base is Apricot Appeal and I matched it up with Sage Shadow!  The Patterned Pines trees were embossed with White Embossing powder on Sage Shadow card stock.  I then used the snowflake stamp in Patterned Pines and stamped it randomly on Whisper White first with Sage Shadow Classic Ink, then Apricot Appeal Classic Ink, then I went back and filled in the blank areas with stamped off colors of Sage Shadow and Apricot Appeal!  I completely filled the Whisper White card stock, making my own "designer paper" in the colors I wanted.

I layered the "designer paper" piece onto Sage Shadow.  Then I stamped the snowflake again in Apricot Appeal on scrap Whisper White and punched it with the Scallop Circle punch.  I pierced each of the scallops for some added interest and placed a Fire Round Rhinestone in the center.  Finally I stamped Happy Holidays from Four the Holidays (in the Holiday mini!) in Basic Gray in the lower left corner.

Hope you enjoy my version of the Sketch from Stamping 411.  Make sure to check out what the other Operators have done this week!

Merry Christmas!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    You have completely outdone yourself with this one.  I liked how I read the descripton long before I saw the picture and I didn't think I would care for this card — but in true "Connie" style, you've proven me wrong yet again!  Absolutely gorgeous!  I would so totally case this card!
