Welcoming Woods Birthday Card

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings



What a beautiful fall day we're having today.  Such a nice blessing after a whole day of rainfall yesterday.  Today's card fits right in with the current season.  I saw this design on Pinterest by Piccadilly Stamping.  It is so beautiful that I wanted to pass it on to you.


Just a couple of things to note. The stamp set has a stamp for the trees and one for the ground. I used my Misti to get the right placement. The second thing to remember is to stamp the sentiment before you emboss the layering panel. I included that caution in my directions, but wanted to bring special attention to this detail. Have fun!

Measurements
Card Base 8.5” x 5.5”
Layering Panel 4” x 5.25”
White Panel 4” x 4.5” (After coloring and stamping, cut down to 3” x 3.5”.)
Brown Panel 3.25” x 3.75”

Supplies
Stampin’ Up Welcoming Woods Stamp Set
Stampin’ Up Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder
Distress Inks, with blending tools for each color
     Mustard Seed Stormy Sky
     Wild Honey Rustic Wilderness
     Peacock Blue Gathered Twigs
 Momento Black Dye Ink
Two Black Jewels
Foam Tape, Pencil & Ruler

Directions
1. Before embossing, on the layering panel, somewhat about one-half inch from the bottom, with black ink, stamp Happy Birthday in the lower right corner, leaving room for the jewels.
     a. Emboss with Tasteful Textiles.
     b. Adhere to card base.

2. On the white panel, make a tic mark about ½ inch from the top and the bottom on it. When blending your rows of color, they should be focused on the areas between the tic marks.

3. Sponge on the dye inks in the following order, starting in the middle of the panel; also remember, in a circular motion, to sponge off some ink before applying to card stock.
     a. middle of card – Mustard Seed
     b. below that – Wild Honey
     c. below that – Rustic Wilderness
     d. now start above where the Mustard Seed is – Peacock Blue
     e. above that – Stormy Sky

4. Stamp the trees leaves with black ink and the earth line with Gathered Twiggs.

5. Trim the panel to 3” x 3.5”, adhere to brown panel. Using foam tape, adhere brown panel assembly to card base.

6. Attach a black jewel at each end of the sentiment.
