Good Afternoon!

I’m hanging out in my PJ’s this afternoon working away.   I had plans to have lunch with my Mother and then dinner out with my Stampin’ Up! Up Line, Karen Barber.  Well both my Mother and Karen are under the weather today so all of my plans have been canceled.   Since I didn’t need to be any where, I am still tooling around in the PJ’s, sorry sight, I tell ya.

I did however manage to stamp this project that I am sharing with you today.  Hope you enjoy it.

Let’s get started. . . . . . .

On a 3.5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White stamped the leaves of the trees by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then with Green Galore ink before stamping them.  Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the trunks of the trees using Brilliant Blue ink only.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at the top right corner and bottom left corner of the card stock.

Brayered Brilliant Blue ink at the top right corner and bottom of the card stock.

Wiped the ink off of the embossed images using a paper towel.

Stamped the flourish  at the top of the card stock a few times with Tempting Turquoise and stamping off once before stamping each image.

Stamped the birds using Basic Black ink.

Colored in the bird using a white gel pen.

Added a bit of Brilliant Blue Stampin’ Pastel to each tree, in the bottom of the leafy area.

Added White Gel Pen dots to each tree.

Brayered Night of Navy ink to the top right corner and the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the flourish on a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of Certainly Celery card stock using Certainly Celery ink.

Assembled my card front and added Certainly Celery leaves punched with the bird punch.

Added Celery marker to the bottom of each leaf to give them some depth.

Stamped the sentiment using Brilliant Blue ink.

Added a flower punch and a Tempting Turquoise Rhinestone brad.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be one of leisure. 

Until my next post. . . . .  . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle
