Loveliest Tree card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on April 29, 2024May 1, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a roll of a dice to inspire us today. The roll gives us – pearl, colouring, In Colors, sympathy and standard horizontal and I have used the new Loveliest Tree stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the loveliest tree card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛
Pebbled Path card – 4⅜” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 4¼”
Boho Blue card – 3¼” by 1”
Moody Mauve card – 3¼” by 1”
Wild Wheat card – 3¼” by 1”
Copper Clay card – 3¼” by 1”
Scrap Basic White & Pebbled Path card

I decided to use the 2023 – 2025 In Colors to make my card, they seemed more appropriate for a sympathy card. I added a little removable adhesive to the back of each 1” strip of in color card and lined them up on a sheet of grid paper butted up against each other.

Using a stamp positioner, I stamped the large tree image in Pebbled Path ink across all 4 strips of card. I made sure that my ink pad was freshly inked and repeated this step a couple of times to get the required depth of colour.

The strips were then lifted and placed onto the 3⅜” by 4¼” leaving a small border around the edge. The whole panel was then adhered to the Pebbled Path panel, then the whole piece was adhered to the Thick Basic White card front.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut it using a label die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I die cut it twice to make the label smaller. I then adhered the sentiment to a scrap of Pebbled Path card which was then trimmed to fit. I added it to the card front with liquid adhesive and a Dimensional.

Using a Boho Blue Blends Pen I coloured a trio of Iridescent Pearls and added them to the card front.

I got to this point before I realised that I had missed out the colouring element……. Ooops! I hope you’ll forgive me.

Having lined the images of the microscope and beakers up on my grid paper, making sure the bottoms lined up and picked them up using the I block – the microscope did stick out over the top but stamped well. I inked up the images with Pebbled Path ink and stamped it onto the smaller panel of Basic White panel above the wood planks.

Using the Blends Alcohol Pens I coloured in the images, I used the color lifter to add ‘light’ to the beakers.

I added Pebbled Path ink to the bottom of the panel using a Blending Brush and another brush to add Boho Blue ink to the top and sides of the same panel.

The triangles of Wild Wheat were then glued to the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel. The Basic White triangles were added next and the whole piece was mounted onto the Boho Blue card base on Dimensionals.
