To make this card you will need:
A5 Winter Wonderland Stamp Set
A5 Blank white card base
A5 Dark Green card
A5 sheets of white card
Onyx Black and Smokey Grey Versafine ink pads
Water colour Pencils
Clear Embossing powder
Gelly Roll Clear Star pen
Distress Oxides - Peeled Paint, Cracked Pistachio and Iced Spruce
Mardi Gras Carnivale Colourburst
Double Sided Tape
3D Glue Gel
This is how I made it:
1. Trim the A5 white card and the dark green card by 1 cm top and bottom so that it fits within the card base leaving a nice border.
2. To make the background, stamp the three Distress Oxides into a blending mat and spritz with water, swoosh one of the white cards into it and keep doing this until you are happy with the result. It is good to dry off the card in between the swooshes - you get some lovely effects. After you have done the last swoosh, before drying sprinkle on some of the Mardi Gras Colourburst into the wet ink and give it a spritz with water to make the colour burst.
3. Let this dry, once dry, stamp the small forest trees randomly all over the sheet.
4. Take the other sheet of cropped white card a cut 2 diagonal lines from the bottom left corner to either side of the top right corner in a V shape - see card.
5. Stick this to the green card matching up the sides so that all you can see is the dark green V in the middle. Trim the green card to 2 mm border of the inside of the white card. See card. This gives the inside a border.
6. Stick both these corners to the background sheet you just made, matching up the corners to give you the colourful inset.
7. Stamp the small dots stamp all over the white triangles in grey Versafine.
8. Stamp the Winter Wonderland stamp on the edge of the right hand triangle and emboss with clear embossing powder.
9. Stick this to the A5 card base.
10. On a separate piece of white card stamp 2 of the large trees and 4 of the medium trees using the black Versafine. Colour these in - I used watercolour pencils.
11. Cut out the trees leaving a small white border. I then used the gelly pen to glitter the snow on the trees.
12. Arrange the two large trees and attach using 3D glue gel to the bottom left so that it covers the bottom end of the colourful insert, add the other medium tree to the bottom right.
That's it, all done - how I wish I had photographed this one as I made it - it's so hard to explain without pictures. If you are stuck or struggling to understand please ask and I'll try and explain. Next time I make another one like this I will do the pictorial step by step.
