Snow falling on pines
Posted: December 29, 2010 Filed under: CAS, Lovely as a Tree, Stamped Landscapes 19 Comments
When I showed this card to my second daughter she told me with a smile that I was in a rut. I prefer to think I am on a roll! I am concentrating on sponged landscapes at present, but it is entirely possible that tomorrow I might have no inspiration for another and start instead to punch out squares or emboss flowers.
I intended for this one to be a one layer card but when removing the post-it notes at the end one took some of the white cardstock with it so I had to cut out my scene and create a new base. I stayed simple just popping it up a little. The falling snow was inspired by a gorgeous card Sally made here. I used her technique of mixing a little white acrylic paint with water and splattering it over the stamping and sponging.
Thanks for all your comments about the tutorial. I am glad it has been helpful and will draw a name to send the original card to on Saturday.
Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Taglines (Flourishes)
Inks: Basic Black, Perfect Plum, Going Gray
Cardstock: Flourishes Classic White
Also: Stampin’ Dimensionals, White acrylic paint

Oh, yes, you’re definitely on a roll, not in a rut! This is lovely. The background colors are beautiful. I really like the card cut and popped up, too. Another something to try! A distinct advantage is that you can place it exactly where you want on your card. Lovely creation!
This is gorgeous!! Thanks for another great idea!

That was a gorgeous mistake! I love it popped up!! Yep – its a ROLL nit a rut!!
You are definetly NOT in a rut..but in a groove….what a BEAUTIFUL card.And the technique is definetly one I want to try.Popping the scene up gave it so much depth…….I love it when mistakes come together….lol
Oh my, Heather, another gorgeous art work with your special talent! So beautiful, love the colours on this one. Great tutorial too, and one I am determined to have a go at really soon! Hope you had a lovely Xmas and I have a gift for you at this blog post http://kbpapercraft.blogspot.com/2010/12/im-stylish.html
Cheers
Oh Lordy, yes you are on a roll. Ruts are easy to come by, rolls produce real art. I do ruts all the time!
This card is my new fave, but I laugh at myself because I KNOW I can hide my mistakes if I use this spatter technique. But it will be my luck that this technique looks like kindergarten mistakes, if I do it, and art if you do it. 🙂
Bahb
I just love the colours. Its such a peacefull card.
I think this card is beautiful!
