Misty Moonlight card – 4⅝” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”

Using the Perennial Postage Dies I die cut a rectangle from the 4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card. I wanted the rectangle to be narrower so die cut it twice to make it smaller.

I used a Blending Brush and the torn edge of some printer paper to add some snowbanks to the bottom of the rectangle. A punched Post It Note 1” Circle was added to the die cut rectangle and Misty Moonlight ink was brushed on to create the ‘sky’. The Post It Note mask was then removed.

Using Shaded Spruce ink, first and second generation, I stamped the medium tree then the smallest tree onto the inked rectangle. The panel was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Bauble Blooms stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Misty Moonlight card. I covered it was Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I tucked the piece under the bottom edge of the decorated piece on the card front.

A ribbon bow and a trio of silver sequins completed the card.

With the embossed (raised side) facing down I dragged the Crumb Cake ink pad across the panel. Next, I dragged the Pecan Pie ink and across the panel and finally the Early Espresso ink pad. This builds up the depth of colour and gives the burnt look to the background.

Using a Sponge Dauber I coloured the flower petals with Darling Duckling ink. I added Crushed Curry ink to the base of each petal to add depth. The flower centres were coloured with Sponge Daubers using Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze ink.

Mossy Meadow ink was used to add ink to the leaves. The embossed panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer and then to the Very Vanilla card base.

The sentiment, from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink in the centre of the 4¼” by 2½” piece of Very Vanilla card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

A trio of Gold Textured Adhesive-backed Dots finished the card.
