Hello there. This is the reminder post for the PINE challenge at CAS Christmas.
For my card this time, I am featuring a pine cone on a pine branch from The Magic of Christmas stamp set by Simon Says Stamp (SSS).
The image was stamped on ivory cardstock from Gina K Designs with Stampin’ Up! (SU!) Crumb Cake dye ink and coloured with a few shades of brown Polychromos pencils for a sepia look. Added accumulated snow on the image with a white Signo gel pen. An ink smear mishap caused me to die cut the image out with a SSS Stitched Circle die. Ink blended around the edges with Crumb Cake dye ink using a foam blending tool. Splattered with diluted white gouache paint for falling snow.
Next, stamped the image onto a Crumb Cake card base. Adhered an ivory panel die cut with an A2 Stitched Rectangle Set 2 die from My Favorite Things (MFT) and stamped the image again. Lined up the coloured circle image with the image on the card base, giving it a spotlight effect. Heat embossed the sentiment from MFT Itty Bitty Holiday with gold embossing powder to finish.
There is one week left to link up your card by August 24 PST. For more inspirations from my team, click HERE. Thank you for dropping by.
