Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

May 7, 2021

With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees. I love this effect with a 'naked' tree! It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.

Other details:

The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock. I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily.
The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards. I love the two toned look of these In Colors together. When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!
