Soft Christmas – Stampin’ Up! Card

1 Comment November 9, 2013 zindorfstamps

Hey There,

I hope this post finds you having a wonderful Autumn weekend.

I woke early this morning to find myself itching to use this new Stampin’ Up! Joyful Christmas stamp set. What a beautiful fun image to watercolor. I chose to watercolor the image today to give it a soft look. I’ve been creating so many masculine cards lately I thought a feminine card was in order.

Chilly Season’s Greetings – Tutorial #277

21 Comments November 5, 2009 zindorfstamps

I know I just returned home from Colorado a few days ago, but I’m so very excited! Tomorrow morning (Friday) 3:00 a.m., I am hitting the road again. This time I am heading to Moore, Oklahoma to teach my brayer workshops. It’s a good thing that I like to drive. 🙂 I hope you ladies in Moore, OK are ready to brayer! Because here I come. . . . . .

Today’s tutorial is a chilly one. I used three cool shades of Blue to achieve that chilly look. You could also use cool shades of purple for this project. 🙂 Did you know there are warm shades and cool shades to every color? Take a look at your Blue ink pads that you have. Can you guess which are warm and which are cool? How about your red shades? I bet you can. Now you may not have as many ink pads as I have, because I am a bit sick. But I bet you have a few, or maybe you have more ink than I have. I just never know with you stampers. 🙂 Hmmm, I see some empty spots I need to fill.

Oh yeah, the tutorial, sorry I got a bit off track there.

Let’s get started. . . . . . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Branch Out and Many Merry Messages

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Bordering Blue and Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Bordering Blue and Basic Black

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Ticket Corner Punch and Word Window Punch, Basic Black Marker, White Gel Pen, Sponge, Brayer, Post it notes, Big Shot Die Cut Machine and Flourish Texturz Plate, Silver Brads

Starting with a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White Card stock. I masked the bottom 1/3 of the card stock with a post it note and brayered Bordering Blue ink on the unmasked area.

Brayered Not Quite Navy at the top of the card stock, not covering the Bordering Blue ink entirely.

Brayered Night of Navy ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Not Quite Navy ink entirely.

Removed the post it note mask and brayered Bordering Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! set Branch Out with Basic Grey ink.

Ripped a couple of hills in the edge of a post it note and used it to create some mounds of snow in the scene. This was done by sponging Bordering Blue ink at the post it note edge and then moving it and sponging again for each mound.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock. Heavier at the top.

Added White Gel pen to the tree and the mounds of snow.

Added a shadow in the tree by outlining the right sides to some of the branches and the trunk.

Ran a 4 7/8″ x 6 3/4″ Bordering Blue Panel through my Big Shot Machine using the Flourish Texture Plate.

Brayered Bordering Blue ink on the panel to bring out the dry embossing further.

Sponge Basic Black ink around the outside edges.

Used the Stampin’ Up! Ticket Corner Punch on a Whisper White Panel and on the main image panel.

Stamped a lone bird in the tree using Basic Black ink.

Punched to word windows out of Basic Black card stock. Cut one end off of each of them. Adhered them with glue and added a silver brads to each one.

Stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! set Many Merry Messages using Basic Black ink.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be filled with peace and harmony. Please wish me safe travels.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . .

Hugs,
Michelle
