Woodland Embossing folder ~ A winter version

Hello Everyone.  Today I thought I would share a winter version of Monday's card.  This card also uses the Among the Branches bundle, which includes the Among the Branches stamp set and the Woodland embossing folder. 

This time I embossed a piece of watercolor paper because I wanted to get a soft watercolor background.  I painted each of the "empty spaces" between the trees by starting from one side and blending to the other, this made a shadowy look. I used Soft Sky ink.

Next I added some Crumb Cake with a sponge.  One thing we learned at stamp camp is that you really do need to paint first and sponge second because if you already have the crumb cake on the paper and your aqua painter accidentally touches it, it will make a yucky spot on your tree.

I added a couple of birds from the Tree Builder punch.  The punch makes one bird, facing to the left, but just punch one with the glimmer paper facing up and one with the glimmer paper facing down and then you will have birds facing each other.  You probably would have figured that out :)  but just in case you didn't I thought I would mention it :)







Thanks for stopping by!!

I stamped the sentiment on Soft Sky paper with Soft Sky ink and added some silver thread behind it.

Among the Branches ~ Woodland Embossing Folder

Hello everyone! Are you loving the new Embossing Folder, Woodland?  I am.  I have always loved birch trees and love to draw and paint them, so this folder was right up my alley. There is a Bundle, which is awesome.  You can add the Among the branches stamp set and save 15%.
For this card I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and used a sponge with some Crumb Cake ink to highlight the trees.  I added some leaves in Old Olive, Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist. 

To help you keep your sponge from getting too much ink on the background, just use a post it note along the edge of the tree and swipe from that side.

The large "Autumn Wishes" circle has the additional words "& tasty dishes" which would work great if making a gift of some yummy pumpkin bread or muffins or something, but as this is just a card for a fall birthday, I needed to cover up that part. 

I covered up the unwanted words by adding a strip of Old Olive paper and a cute wooden leaf.

An easy way to add the forked edge to your strip of paper is to use the Bitty Banner punch.  Just use it from the back, only slipping the paper through one side of the punch as shown here.
