Welcoming Woods for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where it is all about the males today. I have chosen to use the Welcoming Woods stamp set to make my card. Whether you have hopped over from Cheryl’s blog, loved her project or have started with me, please continue to hop to see what inspiration others have to share today.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the welcoming woods card, you will need:

Soft Suede card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 4¾” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I stamped the tree trunks from the Welcoming Woods stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White. I love all the texture and definition you get in this image; the trunks look so real.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink to give the effect of an horizon.

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using Soft Suede ink, I stamped the leaves from the Welcoming Woods stamp set onto the Soft Suede card front and added the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down and flagged with Scissors before I was added to the card.

I simple but striking card, I hope you like it.
