Life Is Beautiful In Winter

Img 5490

The wonderful summer days are long and hot and I love them. But, I know winter is ahead. This card is a good one to send during the cold days that are coming.

Create a Whisper White card base cut at 11" x 4 1/4" and scored at 5 1/2".

On a piece of Snowflake Splendor patterned paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4" stamp the tree image in Smoky Slate ink. I used the Stamparatus so I could re-ink the stamp several times to get a crisp image.

Use these colors to stamp the images across the tree branches:

--Coastal Cabana
--Highland Heather
--Pool Party

Note: I stamped off twice each time to achieve a muted look.

Adhere the finished tree piece to a piece of silver foil cardstock cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Add Snowflake Sequins across the top of the tree image.

On a piece of white cardstock cut at 1 5/8" x 3 7/8" use VersaMark ink to stamp the sentiment and snowflakes.

Emboss with silver embossing powder.

Add to the piece with the tree.

Wrap Snowflake Splendor ribbon around the piece and secure on the back.

Add the completed piece to the card front, and finish with a small bow.
