Hi Everyone! I guess I am playing with Fall and Winter today! I decided to have a play with inks and this fabulous set from Hero Arts. Take a look!
As this is a layering stamp set I am definitely using my MISTI. But honestly one of the things I adore about this set is that you don't have to be exactly perfect on your stamping. Actually you even want it to not be perfect to make your trees not all look identical. The Christmas tree has one stamp for the trunk and three layers for the green, at least how I stamped this, and one layer for the red on the tree. This set also had the star for the tree top, three sentiments, a tree stand and a grounding line, which you can see I did use to show the front tree as planted in the ground.
I used Catherine Pooler Inks in the following colors to create my scene: Lime Rickey, Eucalyptus, Spruce, Rockin Red, and Sauna. I also used Memento Tuxedo Black for my tree and sentiment. I then used a blending brush with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide to add the sky that you see in the shaker behind the trees. I then cut a white layer and a metallic silver card layer, as well as a foam circle shaker and die to create my shaker space and filled the shaker with Catherine Pooler Crater Lake Sequin Mix. Finally I assembled everything and adhered to a white cardstock card base with my favorite scor tape.
