Good morning friends! I know I've been doing a poor job keeping up with this blog of mine! This house has just been such a time consuming task! And in a way, I am really enjoying it! We ordered new counter tops yesterday and picked out tile for our kitchen's back splash. It won't be installed for a few weeks, but I am excited nonetheless. ;)
My crafty time has been quite limited, but I did manage to squeak out a few cards for JustRite's new release. Today's set is the Multi-step Pine Trees with coordinating dies. I stamped the trees in varying shades of green, from light to dark. I love the depth it creates!
The background was done with water colors. Once my shades of blue were dry I splattered some white paint to represent my stars. The moon comes with the set and it was stamped, cut out, and given a coat of glossy accents and glitter. I hand cut some rolling hills and added glitter to those as well. The sentiment is part of JustRite's Best Wishes Sentiment Dies. I added glossy accents and glitter to it. I added a strip of rainbow rhinestones to help ground my sentiment. As a finishing touch I tied coordinating silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply store.
Thank you for putting up with my neglectfulness! ;)
I am hoping very soon to get back on a more regular schedule.
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I'm going to be on the look-out for the new tree dies as I think they will be very useful. I just hope they are easy to find here in the UK.
