Snow laden tree
Posted: January 4, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Lovely as a Tree, Stamped Landscapes 25 Comments
Crafty Creations Challenge is aiming to warm things up with a heat embossing challenge. I chose to emboss a very chilly scene. We have discovered since living in Canada that the sunny days which look so beautiful in winter are the coldest days despite the sun!
The large tree is the only part of the card heat embossed. I stamped the tree once in versamark then restamped ever-so-slightly lower in black before embossing in clear. The result is snow laden branches as seen in the close up below.
Thanks for dropping by today.
Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, All Year Cheer, small tree stamp from Embassy Arts
Inks: Versamark, Basic Black, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue
Cardstock: MFP White
Also: Clear e.p.

Superssssss Heather, it’s such a beauty you did create here, great technique! And a very happy new year and lots of creativity to share! Let’s make the world a little more beautiful with this art, greetz Miranda
Oh wow, Heather, what a beautiful card. It obviously took a lot of time, but it was well worth the effort. I think maybe you should frame this one instead of sending it to anyone! Your technique to put “snow” on the main tree is so clever, the shadowing so realistic, and the sponging so lovely. Beautiful card. I’d like to say I’m going to copy you, but this is well beyond my talent.
This is gorgeous! TFS!
Such a brilliant way to make that snow laden tree! I must try that, liking to heat-emboss as I do. And as always, the masking/sponging is perfect and the shadows look so realistic! Glad to see you playing with us at Crafty Creations Challenges. too. 😉

Nice technique, thanks for sharing. Going to try this for christnas this year.
I found this stunning card on Pinterest, your work is beautiful I want to do a similar thing with the same tree stamp but can I just ask…..did you heat emboss the versamarked image first with white or some other embossing powder??? before going in again with the black as you mentioned?,not seen this technique before and so want to master it for myself, hope ypu understand my question!
