Perched in a Tree
Hello fellow stampers and friends! Hope you’re enjoying the weekend. Doing anything special in this warm weather before the cold sets in?
Al and I went camping during the week, which was the inspiration behind this card. While walking along we saw so many Canadian Geese, which is a sure sign the colder weather is near. Went on a small hike to see a small waterfall and on another hike we walked through the woods. Needless to say, inspiration was drawn from our hike in the woods. I have no Canadian Geese stamps. LOL.
Back home, I decided I’d better get busy in my stamp room. I thought I had a recent post, but looking at my “dashboard” I see my last post was on September 7th. Bad me. I’ll try to do better.
Card Details
- Two-tone sun-ray done in SU Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. To do this I used my blending brushes.
- Die cut the trees using SU Aspen Tree Dies
- Lightly inked SU Crumb cake onto the trees
- Cut out greenery using SU Aspen Tree Dies. To add depth, greenery sits behind the trees and in front as well.
- Stamped out tree branch using SU Chocolate Chip
- Blue Bird was coloured with Prismacolor Pencil Crayons and blended with odourless mineral spirits (I googled and found a bird that looks like this one, and I coloured it referencing the photo)
- Bird and branch were glued onto trees
- For more added dimension pop dots were placed on the back of the trees and adhered to the card front
