Lovely As a Tree – retiring!

Today I am sharing a card made for the latest team challenge – the theme is the retiring list. It will come as no surprise to those of you who know me that I have chosen the Lovely As A Tree stamp set. This was the first stamp set I bought and I have used it many, many times.

To Recreate the Lovely As a tree card you will need;

Lovely Lipstick card base – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Wood Textures dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black – 1⅛” by ¼”
Wood Textures dsp 6” by ¼” x 2

I masked off an area of the Wood Textures dsp using Postit Notes. I opened the Daffodil Delight ink pad and pressed it onto a clear block and added a drop of glycerine. I mixed the ink and the glycerine together with a Sponge Dauber; I find the ink goes onto the paper much more smoothly with the addition of the glycerine.

Starting off the dsp I sponged the ink onto the masked off area and repeated the same steps with the Grapefruit Grove ink and the Lovely Lipstick ink. I overlapped the inks to help with the blending.

I love peeling away the Postit’s and revealing the inked area – always a real WOW.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the gorgeous ‘pine tree’ from the Lovely As A Tree Stamp set. I knew I wanted a really dark image and it is much easier to achieve this with the Stamparatus as you can re-stamp the image as often as you need to.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set was stamped in Versamark onto the strip of Basic Black cardstock, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The strip was glued to the stamped panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the over-hanging edges trimmed off.
