Today I have a card that I made for my Leadership swaps using the Sheltering Tree Stamp set and Adventure Awaits stamp sets from the new Occasions Catalog! I love Sheltering Tree! I can see so many possibilities for cool projects with this stamp set. Doesn’t this card remind you of a walk in the woods on a Fall day?? I can easily say that I underestimated how long it would take to stamp 20 of these cards.. Each tree is stamped four times with five colors of ink!
For the details of this card:
The card background is Pumpkin pie. The images are stamped on a piece of whisper white that is cut to 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. This piece is layered on a piece of soft suede cardstock.
The Tree is stamped several times in different colors of ink to represent the colors of fall. I specifically used:
Wild Wasabi and Old Olive for the greens. The other fall colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. The tree trunk and branches are stamped using soft suede. I actually stamped the soft suede off on a scrap sheet of paper before stamping in the cardstock. I wanted the trunks to be a little lighter in color so the leaves would pop more.
The message “Choose the Road Less Traveled” is from the Adventure Awaits stamp set. I love the sayings in this set! It will be a great set for Scrapbooking!
Stay tuned – my Design Team – Stamping New England is featuring the Sheltering Tree stamp set for our February projects! So I will be showing some more ideas with this set over the next couple of weeks!
Happy Stamping!
