Warm winter wishes

 

I made this card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I haven't posted any cards for a while because I have been busy with going back to school to get my GED.

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. 

Best Wishes

The layout design for this card is from this week's Mojo Monday.

It's the Mojo Sketch 511.

I didn't realize that the name of the blog was changed to Poetic Artistry, so it's been a long time since I've posted a card on this challenge. 

With that being said, let me tell you about my card...

I chose a forest green for my card base.

For my card front, I chose a Sahara Sand cardstock, which is embossed with a dots embossing folder. 

Then I used a Slate blue which is embossed with a rose bouquet embossing folder. I gave it a chocolate brown border.

I also used chocolate brown for the scalloped circle framelit die. The white circle is a stitched circle framelit die. And the pine trees are framelit dies.

The sentiment is a wood mount stamp and is stamped with black ink.

I added the pearls to give it an added look.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Happily Ever After

My hubby thought it would look good to have 2 trees on both sides, so I gave it a try, and here is how it turned out!
I used the same pine tree die cuts that I used on my last card.
The card stock I used is from an earth tone card stock pack, which I have embossed with a dots and modern wallpaper embossing folders.
For the wedding couple, I used Marina Mist stamping up ink to stamp them onto white paper and then I cut them out, put a double sided sticky dot on the back, and adhered it to the card front.
Below the wedding couple, I added a piece of lace ribbon and pearls to make it look like the wedding couple are standing on a platform.
The sentiment is a sticker that I got out of a wedding card stock matstack.
I guess you could also call this card A Woodland Wedding instead of just Happily Ever After!!
I hope you have enjoyed your visit.
