Using Blending Brushes I added Boho Blue ink above the tree line to create the ‘sky’. The ‘ground’ was added with Old Olive ink, again using Blending Brushes. The whole piece was then glued to the layer of Basic Black card.

The wavy edge die from the Ocean Friends was used to create borders for the top and bottom of the panel. The top one in Boho Blue and the bottom in Old Olive and they were added with glue. The whole piece was mounted onto the Soft Sea Foam card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Ocean Friends stamp set was stamped onto the card front in Old Olive ink.

A trio of Basic Rhinestones finished off the cards.

The line of trees was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut rectangle. I punched a circle from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch and added it above the tree line. I masked all 4 sides of the rectangle using Post It Notes and added Boho Blue ink to the top of the panel with a Blending Brush and Mossy Meadow ink to the bottom.

The tree trunks were coloured with an Early Espresso Water-colored Pencil. I added colour to the bushes with a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil. The canopy of the trees was coloured using both the Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive Water-coloured Pencils. The coloured panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I flagged the end of ⅜” strips of Old Olive, Basic White and Early Espresso card and tucked them under the raised image.

The sentiment, from the Delicate Forest stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Boho Blue ink. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front. A trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Glossy Dots finished the card.
