I always wondered how people could put together a scenery on a card and have everything in place so that it looked like the trees were in the background with the focus of the card on the forefront and none of the stamps overlapped. The answer I found to my question is in masking!
- Evening Evergreen 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Cardstock - scored at 4-1/4"
- (2) 5-1/4" x 4" Basic White Cardstock
- Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set
- Black Memento Ink Pad
- Evening Evergreen Stampin Ink Pad
- Cajun Craze Stampin Ink Pad
- Balmy Blue Stampin Ink Pad
- Layering Circle Dies
- Blending Brushes
- Wink of Stella
- Post-It Notes
First stamp the sentiment of your choice on one of the Basic White cards and adhere that to the inside of your card. Set aside.
Take your second Basic White card. I stamped my cabin in the center, lower-mid area, so that I would have room to add a moon. I then stamped my fence and my fox.
I took some post-it notes, stamped the cabin on the post - it note so that the top of my cabin was where the sticky part would be on the other side of the note. I then cut out the image and place it on top of my stamped image. I also cut a circle out of the post it pad, again at the top of the note pad so there was some sticky on the opposite side. I used the smallest circle from our Layering Circle Dies. I placed the circle above my cabin.
I then stamped my evergreen trees to the sides of the cabin, stamping a bit over the post-it note.
I took the snowflake stamp and added some snowflakes, and then took my blending brush--lightly brushing the balmy blue ink over the top and around my images.
I removed my post it notes and there I found the scenery I was hoping to create!
I added a special effect by taking my Wink of Stella and placing some over the rooftop of my cabin to create some glistening snow.
Check out my video to see how it's done!
