I was feeling in an Evergreen tree mood this morning. I wanted to create a hilly snow scene since we’re having another scorching hot day here in Florida today. Sometimes you just want to feel the cold! I hope you like my little piece of mountain heaven.
Did you know that there are six holiday stamp sets that you won’t find in our physical catalog, but rather online only. Be sure to check out stamps that are available only online too! Check out our exclusive online stamps here
Creative Tips –
- I stamped the large Evergreen solid image in various heights using a torn mask for my hillside. First I stamped in Versamark ink and then I alternated between Wild Wasabi and Pear Pizazz.
- Once I had my skyline done I wanted two larger trees up close that I could decorate. I tore another mask and stamped two Wild Wasabi Trees.
- To give my trees a glossy look and protect them from the brayer, I embossed all my trees in Clear Embossing powder.
- I used the skyline mask and brayered over my trees in Soft Sky and Marina Mist.
- To accentuate the ridge, I used the reverse mask to sponge a light edge for the snow.
- To create the snow drifts, I used the same mask, but alternated it’s direction.
- For my tree decorations, I used Pearl Basic Jewels.
- I used my new Hexagon Punch for the perfect banner end with my greeting. My greeting is also stamped in Versamark and Cherry Cobbler. This way it really pops when embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.
It’s a simple little card, but cute. I love the wintery feel of it and I could easily mass produce these for the holidays!
