Bringing the Tree Home

For this card I brought out not one but two of my favourites - the Woodland Embossing Folder and Lovely as a Tree - and brought in a new friend -  Farmhouse Christmas


There are many tutorials on You Tube demonstrating stamping on the Woodlands Embossing Folder so I won't go into a lot of detail here.

 I applied Smoky Slate and Pool Party with a Brayer and then stamped the  tree from " Lovely as a Tree" with Mossy Meadow ink  directly onto the embossing folder. After running the embossing folder with  inserted cardstock through the Big Shot, Dazzling Diamonds were added to  the birch trees- making it look like a Winter Wonderland.

On a separate piece of Whisper white the image of the truck was stamped , colored with Stampin' Up Blends and then die cut using the coordinating  Farmhouse framelit.  Some snow, in the form of Liquid Applique,was applied to the tree and the top of the truck.


Dimensionals were used to adhere both the truck and the die cut sentiment to the embossed art piece.

Two rows of 1/8" Blueberry Bushel grosgrain ribbon adhered to the lower art piece, actually look like a road and  help to ground the truck.  Do you see the tiny wreath on the upper left corner of the sentiment?



The embossed art piece was adhered to a Blueberry Bushel card stock base.
