When I first opened the new Mini catalogue, there was one bundle set that spoke out to me - the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and dies. Once I got them I wanted to play with them, but life had other plans.
Today those plans changed!
Now was my turn to play - and I was like a kid in a candy store! My first card is below:
It's almost like a photograph! The colour scheme is Basic White, Basic Gray, and Smoky Slate. with a touch of Silver Foil. The card is constructed using stamps, dies, Silver Foil, and Peaceful Place DSP.
On a Smokey Slate A2 top fold card base, DSP is added as a background I almost hated to cut the gorgeous DSP, and hated even more to cover up the silver foil pattern on the reverse side . As a backdrop for the cabin some of the new silver foil was matted with some DSP that has the silver snowflakes.
The cabin, trees, fence and the two foxes were stamped with Basic Gray ink on separate pieces of Basic White card stock. I used the stamparatus to stamp the cabin as I worried the image needed more that one stamping attempt. And I was right!
The dies for the tree and cabin were different from the usual dies. They cut only the outline of the top, leaving the bottom of the images intact. The dies for the fence and fox, however, cut out the entire image.
When done, the cabin and trees were lined up where I wanted them, and die cut all of them together with a stitched rectangle die.
Once the scene was complete some dazzling diamonds was added to provide a sparkle to the snow. The sentiment was embossed with silver embossing powder, die cut with the ornate frame die and added to the upper front with dimensionals.
