Evergreen Forest and Pine Woods are Beautiful Together

 

My recipe for this card is as follows:

Stamps-Curvy Christmas

Card Stock- Sahara Sand- 1 pc. 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”; 1 pc. 4” X 5 ¼”; 1 pc. 3 ¾” X 1 ½” (cut this pc. with the Stitched Rectangle die measuring approx. 3 3/8” X 1 ¼”.

-  Cherry Cobbler- 1 pc. 4 1/8” X 5 3/8”; 1 pc. 1 3/8” 3 3/8”.

-  Mossy Meadow- 1 pc. 3 ½” X 5” for cutting 3 trees.

Ink- Craft White Ink Pad and Craft White Ink Refill; Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad.

Embossing Folder- Evergreen Forest

Dies- Pine Woods

Embossing Paste- Shimmery White

Palette Knives

Red Rhinestones

Water Painters (or Aqua Painters)

Clear Block to use for ink to splatter

Adhesive- Tombow Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals (Mini and Regular)

Emboss the 4” X 5 ¼” piece of Sahara Sand Card Stock through your Stamp and Emboss machine using the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder.

Cut the 3 ¾” X 1 ½” piece of Sahara Sand Card Stock with stitched rectangle die.

Cut the 3 pine trees using the Pine Woods Die.

Using the Craft White ink pad run the above 2 pieces through the ink to get your desired look of a “snowstorm”.

Apply a small squirt (about ¼” glob) of White Craft Ink to stamp block and dilute, slightly, with water from your water/aqua painter.

This next part can get messy so move anything you do not want to have white paint splattered on it. Then, splatter all the above pieces with the diluted paint and water/aqua painter until the desired look is accomplished.

Set all these pieces aside to dry completely. Once dried, using the smallest palette apply the Shimmery White Embossing Paste in small snow-like globs onto the die cut trees. Set aside to dry completely.

Once all pieces are dry stamp the sentiment from Curvy Christmas onto the Sahara Sand “label”. Adhere this piece to the Cherry Cobbler piece.

Layer the embossed Sahara Sand Card Stock onto the Cherry Cobbler Card Stock mat and then apply to card base.

Adhere the 3 trees to the front of card. You can use the mini Stampin’ Dimensionals or Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue or a combination of both.

Layer the sentiment label onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Apply the Red Rhinestones to the trees (when I created this card, I imagined the rhinestones as cardinals sitting among the branches of the pine trees). Then accent your sentiment with a couple more Red Rhinestones.
