I saw a card similar to this one in my in box a week or two ago. Amy K. used the new stamp set, Wonderland to make her card, I don't have that one, but I knew I could get a similar look by using my favorite, Lovely As A Tree stamp set! So that is what I did. This card is a lot larger than the normal ones I make, it is a 5" x 7" card, which seems HUGE to me! I wanted to make the area smaller on the card front so I flipped it over and used my Simply Score Board and stylus and made my embossed border, starting a 1/4" from top, bottom and both sides. I used Whisper White that was 4" x 5-1/4", stamped the trees on the front with Mossy Meadow and did some second and third generation images too. I let it dry for a couple minutes before I started my sponging. Then I tore the bottom off, maybe 1/2" or so. I sponged Soft Sky in the middle and then Night of Navy around the outside edges. I also added some Crumb Cake at the bottom. I then wrapped some Linen Thread around it a couple times and tied a knot. I also added some shimmer to the front to make it look slightly frosty. To get a closer view, just click on the picture. The sentient is from Blessings from Heaven-retired.
This card is going to my husband's cousins' wife, she was in a very bad car accident in June and she is still in rehab. Poor thing was in ICU for almost a month after the accident. So I've been sending her a card at the beginning of each month letting her know that we are praying for her and to let her know we are thinking of her.
Have a great day and hope to be back on Monday! Mary
