A Winter wonderland - Christmas Barn card #3 - a tutorial

 This is the 3rd card of the 3 cards I made using the Christmas  Barn bundle. It reminds me of a winter wonderland, thus the title.



Stamp:  Christmas Barn

Inks:  Basic Gray, Garden Green, Stampin' Blends (Smokey Slate, Soft Suede, Real Red, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay)

Papers:  Basic Gray, Basic White, Black Memento

Accessories:  Barn Dies, Evergreen Embossing Folder (retired), Dimensionals, Clear Wink of Stella

Putting the card together:

1.  Emboss the Basic White layer with an embossing folder e.g Evergreen Forest and adhere to Basic Gray card base.

2.  On a separate piece of Basic White card stock, stamp 2 trees (Shaded Spruce, Soft Suede market), a wreath (basic gray and color with Old Olive and Real Red Stampin' Blends), the Barn (Black Memento), and the horse and sled.  Die cut all these stamped images using the Barn dies.

3.  Color the barn with Smokey Slate stampin blends, leaving light areas, bare areas and colour some areas darker.

4.  Adhere one of the trees to the embossed surface and the second tree to the Basic White card stock using dimensionals. Place it slighly down and in front of the other tree.

5.  Add the barn using dimensionals.  Add the wreath to the barn just over the door using dimensionals.

6.Add the horse and sleigh with dimensionals.

7.  Sentiment is optional.

8.  Add Clear Wink of Stella on the wreath ribbon, the snow around the barn, the barn roof, and the blanket of the sleigh.
