It is Day 8 for our Random Act of Cardness series and today's prompt word is Trees.
I decided to use a die of trees that I recently received by Tim Holtz. Not normally a fan of Tim Holtz I was pleasantly surprised with his latest release, this set being one.
As the die itself is about 4.5 inches I made a card base of 5.25 x 5.25 from dark Navy cardstock.
To start my card I first did my background using distress oxide inks for the sky and acrylic paint for the snow portion.
As this is a winter scene I also added splatters of the acrylic white paint for a snowfall, then added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the snow portion for a bit of sparkle and set the piece aside to dry.
Moving on to the trees I die cut two sets from Neenah cardstock. For the set that would be on the bottom I coloured with Copic markers using . For the top set of trees I sponged on distress inks using Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness.
I then splattered the acrylic paint over the finished trees to go with the background and waited for it to dry before attaching to my card.
Using foam squares that I cut to fit the back of the die cut trees I attached the trees to the card.
To finish up I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink in Blue Belle.I like the way this card turned out, and hope you have enjoyed it as well. Following are Affiliate links for the products I used for this card, at no extra expense to you.
