If you're following my blog you know that the Snow Front stamp set is a big favorite of mine. I absolutely love creating scenes with stamps! I cannot paint or draw so I stamp!
We made this pretty 'faux framed' card at my September Card Clubs.
We die-cut a stitched rectangle window in the front of the Soft Suede main card first. Then added the Birch background stamp to the 'frame' using Crumb Cake ink. I wanted to save the Soft Suede stitched rectangle die-cuts for another future project; without the Birch stamp on it.
Then we could place our stamped scene inside the front of the card adding it with dimensionals if we wished to.
I chose to use Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the trees and land, Soft Suede for the 'naked' trees and deer. I sponged the water with Pacific Point and the sky with Pool Party. There's a sure trick to getting smooth sponging as a background. Please watch my video for my best sponging tips.
I kept the inside very simple; ready for the perfect greeting or writing a note.
Measurements:
- Soft Suede main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- White front 4" X 5 1/4"; inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
