I saw this weeks challenge and this particular theme just popped into my head and I decided to make it and post it on the challenge.
This is a 5x7 inch card that I themed with a wintery forest.
Supplies used are :
Large Oval die cut
Christmas Trees Dies
Poinsettia Die
Clouds Thinlets
Ribbon Messages Die
Marina Mist Stampin' up ink
Bravo Burgundy Stampin' up ink
Black Ink (Sentiment)
Christmas Clear Stamps for the sentiment
Snowflakes embossing folder
Pink pearls
Silver gel pen
First I cut out the oval shape on a 5x7 inch white cardstock. And then I cut another piece of white cardstock just big enough to go behind the oval shape. Then I used my snowflakes embossing folder because I wanted to make it look like it was snowing behind the pine trees.
I made the snowy ground by using some clouds thinlet dies and then I highlighted the snow by using a little bit of Marina Mist ink.
For the Christmas trees, I used a shiny forest green cardstock and my die cuts. After adhering them to my card base, I used a silver gel pen to bring out the trees layers, hoping to make it look like the trees have snow on them.
I used my poinsettia die to make a poinsettia to add to the bottom corner. It is connected by a yellow brad.
For the sentiment, I used a die cut from my ribbon messages stamp and cut, which is highlighted with Bravo Burgundy. The sentiment is stamped on with black ink and is a clear stamp from one of my Christmas stamps. And lastly, I added the pink pearls.
Here are a couple more angles of my card...
I've noticed that when I stand back a few feet and look at this card, that it actually does look like a little forest that is covered in snow. It also kind of reminds me of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, only without the ornaments.
I hope you have enjoyed my card and thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you all are doing well and are staying safe during this pandemic.
