Holiday Tree Line

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! It's been pretty chilly here this week..in fact we had a dusting of snow on Monday. I guess it's time to bring out the big coats. Well, big for this area. We're not talking the Michelin man type coats. Just a wool peacoat. Those big puffy coats may be lightweight & all, but I always feel like the little kid in  A Christmas Story. I can't move my arms & they make me look like a Macy's parade floaty balloon. 

When I sat down to make this card, I already knew I wanted to do a quick scene but originally  I was going to use kraft. Then I wondered what it would look like on green, so I tried out a couple of greens before settling on this one. I put it into my Misti, stamped the Winter Trees a couple of times, then added the Single Fall Tree over on the right. The snowflakes were stamped w/ white pigment ink & the snow on the ground is sponged Brilliance ink.  I knew I would have to use quite a bit & it dries faster than the Colorbox ink. I used a white gel pen for the snow on the trees & also a white Prismacolor pencil for more defined snow on the ground & around the panel edges. The partial greeting was added & I used the white gel pen on the letters.

When I was finished w/ the snow & greeting, I put it all together w/ a larger green panel behind the scene. I added a die cut cardinal (had to have a touch of red), & some stickles on the snow. 

Here's the inside.
