I started by stamping some pine sprigs in various green and broken china distress inks onto watercolor paper, then spritzed them with water slightly to blend the colors and let them run into the white spaces. When dry, that panel was trimmed and affixed to a white card base.
I then stamped the snowflakes onto an acetate card using Stazon white ink and inserted the watercolor card underneath, using double-stick tape on the back to hold them together. To finish I stamped and fussy-cut my cardinal, and added him along with my die-cut and stamped sentiment. It's really easy, especially with my Mini Misti, to line up the various layers for this gorgeous stamp!

Beautiful. Background is lovely
ReplyDeleteOh, Lin, I absolutely love this clear front card! Wow! I've seen many, but this is one of the most beautiful! I love the gorgeous background and how you've stamped the snowflakes on the acetate. And then adding the cardinal on top with the sentiment and "joy" die...gorgeous! This may make me try to make one of these. And I totally agree about our MISTI tools. Aren't they the best? It's one of those tools that we can't imagine living without now, right? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, that red cardinal is wonderful on that backdrop.
ReplyDeleteLin, this is beautiful! Love the pop from the Cardinal! Thanks for joining the Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge❄️
ReplyDeleteThe background is really amazing! And combining with snowflakes on acetate is a genius idea.
