Sheltering Tree thank you card

Sheltering Tree

Posted on by

I saw a Youtube video recently by a demonstrator called Tina Zinck, she did a great watercolour technique using the Sheltering Tree stamp set and I couldn’t wait to try it.

Making the Sheltering Tree card

Sheltering Tree thank you card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sheltering Tree thank you card using Stampin’ Up! product

I began by taking a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I took a D sized clear block and pressed the Mango Melody ink pad onto half of the block to get a good covering of ink. I did the same to the other side of the block using Lovely Lipstick ink. Using a Stampin’ Spritzer I misted the inked up block with water and placed the wet block onto the Whisper White panel and left it for a couple of minutes for the ink to transfer.

The panel needs to dry before you can do anything else. I just set it to the side and left it but you can use your heat tool to speed the drying up. When it was completely dry I inked up the bare tree image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set with Early Espresso ink and stamped it to the left of the inked square. I also added the bird image from the High Tide stamp set in the Early Espresso ink to the top of the image.

From the Layering Squares die set I chose a square die slightly smaller than the inked square and die cut it out with my Big Shot. I stamped the sentiment from the Petal Palette stamp set in Mango Melody ink.

I layered the Whisper White panel onto a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock measuring 5½” by 3¾” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the whole piece to a Mango Melody card base using the same glue. I took the die cut square and placed it in the centre of the negative space with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the inside I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped the tree on the bottom right corner and added it with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

This was my first attempt at this card. I didn’t get the inked block wet enough as you can see.
