Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing Holiday themed cards. Mine was made using the gorgeous Wisteria Wishes stamps set and some ink blending.

 

The colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the pine trees card, you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Shaded Spruce

 

I tore a piece of copy paper from side to side to give some hills and hollows. I placed the copy paper on to the smaller panel of Basic White and used a Blending Brush to add ink along the edge.

The pine trees – actually the wisteria blossoms, were then stamped whilst the copy paper was still in place. I moved the copy paper and repeated the steps multiple times to cover the panel. The effect is of trees in banks of snow.

The detailed line of trees was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at the base of the mountains. I inked the image again, stamped off onto scrap paper, turned the image upside down and stamped again in the foreground. I stamped multiple times until all the ink was gone.

Using a Post It Note, punched with a 1” Circle Punch I placed it in the sky overlapping the mountain range. I used Sponge Daubers to add Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight ink above the mountains to indicate a sunset. I removed the mask and added a little Daffodil Delight ink to the moon.

The large image from the Simply Succulent stamp set was stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card base in Fresh Freesia ink.

The same image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The largest succulent was then coloured in using Fresh Freesia Blends Pens. The panel was then glued to the Soft Succulent panel. Liquid glue was then used to add the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.

The sentiment from the Amazing Year stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the strip of Soft Sea Foam ink. It was added to the card front with liquid glue. A trio of Pastel Pearls completed this simple card.

I stamped the succulents in the same way then stamped the image again onto masking paper and cut it out using Scissors. The mask was used to cover the stamped image. I then stamped the flower pot in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the mask removed.

Using the following Blends Pens, I coloured in some of the succulents and the pot – Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.

The stamped panel was then die cut using the Deckled Rectangle Dies and glued to the Soft Succulent layer with liquid glue.

A strip of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was added across the card front and secured in place with Mini Glue Dots and the panel added over top on Dimensionals.
