I wanted to take a very neutral coloured card and add a simple splash of colour. Because of the tones I used I wanted to keep my colours on the more muted side. I was thrilled with the out come. I think I am going to have to make a few more.
Supplies
1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic Black cardstock
1 - 5 1/4"x 4" piece of Well Suited DSP
Scrap Basic White cardstock
Season Like Christmas stamp set (retired)
Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set (retired)
Soft Succulent ink
Evening Evergreen ink
Soft Suede ink
Sahara Sand ink
Memento Black ink
Ribbon
Tailored Tag punch
Instructions
Then take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Basic Black cardstock and cut it down to 4 1/4"x11" and score it at 5 1/2" along the long side.
I just used some ribbon I had in my stash but you can match in to the ink colours if you would like. I wrapped the ribbon around the DSP about 1 1/4" from the bottom and then adhered that to the card base.
I then started to stamp the tree from the Season Like Christmas stamp set. I began with the bottom layer of the tree in Soft Succulent. I layered the smaller layer on top with Evening Evergreen. I then stamped the trunk in the Soft Suede and the ground in Sahara Sand.
I then stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays in Memento Black and punched it out with my Tailored Tag punch.
I then fussy cut the tree and adhered it to the fron tof the card. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhered the sentiment piece.
When using 2 step stamp sets like the Season Like Christmas stamp set using a stamp positioning tool is very convenient. you can line each layer up before inking the stamp ensuring you have in placed as closely as possible.
Happy Paper Crafting!
