Winter trees scene building

Hello, Gaylynn here.  Thanks for visiting.  Here on this last day of July, I am sharing card scene building using a mix of stamping, heat embossing and ink blending.  I am getting an early start on my holiday card making.

Go through your crafty stash for stamps not intended for the holidays to help create a holiday card.  These trees worked great for building the winter scene.

Sentiment:
Peace.  Holiday cheer.

Helpful tips:

In summary, scene building is one way to make a winter holiday card.  To begin, add three shades of ink blending over the smallest oval panel to create the look of ground and sky.  Additionally, stamp random trees and dots onto a die-cut or trimmed piece of ivory cardstock.  Also, stamp with embossing ink or metallic ink so that the scene can be heat embossed.  Next, add white embossing powder over the scene and heat emboss the panel.  Then, stamp the sentiments onto different pieces of cardstock and in different ink colors.  Next, make a frame layer from blue cardstock.  Also, add white ink blending using pigment ink to soften the look of the dark blue.  Finally, layer the scene over the card front and place the sentiments and the twine, to finish.

Here is a closer look:

Also, here is a peek at the process.

Finally, you won’t want to miss the upcoming Card Maker Success Summit event.  It is holiday-themed and packed with lessons for early holiday card making.
It is online August 8-11, 2024 and registration is open now.

I invite you to register for your FREE TICKET.

Additionally, I will present a class using Unity Stamp Company stamps at the summit.  I teach how to use one background styled in two ways.  My presentation is on day one, August 8, 2024.  And, I will be live in the question and answer session on the same day at 11:30am.  Here is a peek at my projects.  I hope that you join me for some crafty fun over there.  Click CMSS to learn more about it.
