Hey There,
Whew, it seems like it’s been forever since I’ve gotten the chance to create something new here at home. Feels good to get something done.
Today’s tutorial uses the water stamping technique to create the wind in the scene. It’s an easy, easy technique, so please give it a try. Also, this is a quick card to make since the background is done with the Direct to Paper technique. Check it out below.

Started with a 3.5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock. Smeared Marina Mist ink on the card stock. This is called the Direct to Paper Technique.
You don’t want even coverage here and you want to leave 1/3rd of the card stock at the bottom with no color.
Smeared Midnight Muse ink on the left side of the sky area.
Smeared Basic Gray ink at the top of the card stock.
Folded two paper towels and wet them. Put them on a pie plate and used them as my stamp pad to stamp the Everything Eleanor flourish with water. This lifts some of the color from the card stock and reveals the design.
Loaded just the tree portion of the Lovely as a Tree stamp with Midnight Muse ink and stamped it. Pulled the trunks down to the snow area using a Midnight Muse marker.
Added a Marina Mist panel, Midnight Muse Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Whisper White Panel and a Marina Mist card stock base.
Here is the finished card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.
