Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using some of our online exclusive offerings. I have made my Autumnal thank you card using the Frosted Forest Stamp set and co-ordinating Dies to make my card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the autumnal tree card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Meandering Meadows dsp – 5⅞” by 1½”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic White card
I glued the piece of Meandering Meadows dsp to the front of the Thick Basic White card base. The strip of Pecan Pie card was added, next to the dep strip.

Using the Countryside Corners Dies I a cut a label from the 4¾” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card.
The large tree image was stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White card.

I placed Mask 1 over the stamped tree and added Pecan Pie ink to the trunk and branches of the tree. Mask 2 placed next and I lightly added Old Olive ink, with a Blending Brush, to parts of the tree canopy. Lastly, using Blending Brushes, I added Cajun Craze used to some of the remaining uncoloured areas and Cherry Cobbler to the remainder.

The final Mask, number 3 was then placed in position. I squeezed some of the Gold Metallic Enamel Effects onto the Mask and used a Spatula to scrap the gold over the mask and into the negative space. The mask was then removed and the panel allowed to dry. The mask and spatula were then washed with warm water to remove the Enamel Effects. When it was dry I die cut the tree using the Frosted Forest Dies.

The ‘ground’ image from the Garden Meadow stamp set was stamped onto the die cut label in Old Olive ink. The die cut tree was then glued in position and the label was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink and a gold bird added to complete the card.
