Lovely As A Tree

Hello everyone,

I stamped these trees from Lovely As A Tree stamp set (#c127793, #w128655) using Early Espresso ink (#126974)

 

The cardstock is Early Espresso (#121686), So Saffron (#108611) and Very Vanilla (#106550). I stamped on the Very Vanilla card with an image from the Work Of Art stamp set (#c134114, #w134111) using Pear Pizzaz ink (#131180), So Saffron ink (#126957) and Soft Sky ink (#131181). As I only wanted a light colour for this background I used the stamping off method for each of these 3 colours. I then stamped the trees over the background. Happy Birthday is from the Rose Wonder stamp set (#p140697) and stamped with Early Espresso ink. I cut this with the Layering Ovals Framelits (#141706) and attached it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

After making this card I decided on a variation making a "telescopic" card using the Layering Squares Framelits (#141708).

 

To make this I stamped the images onto the card, then positioned the 3 square Framelits on the card and cut them using the Magnetic Platform (#130658)

 

I sponged the edges of each of the squares with Early Espresso ink. The outside piece of card was taped to the base card. The next piece was attached with Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825). The next piece was attached with 2 layers of Foam Adhesive Strips and the inner square was attached with 3 layers of Adhesive Strips. Happy Birthday is from the Circle Of Spring stamp set (#138964) and also cut with the Layering Squares Framelits and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

That's all today.

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.
