Hi Stampers!!
Here is my first
design for the March 2013 Splitcoaststampers CCC13 Christmas Card Challenge- I
decided to use a monochromatic green color scheme for the SUO65 Stampin’ Up!Only Going Green! Challenge and the HSSSC154 Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch- again, if you have not had a chance to visit their sites yet, I hope you will take the time to do so!!
To create this card:
Ink the large pine
tree from the stamp set, Lovely As A Tree image with Certainly Celery Classic
Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, stamp a few times (stamp off as well), ink
again with Gumball Green Classic Ink and finally with Garden Green Classic
Ink.
Cut a 3” Circle using
the Big Shot™Originals™ Circle Die Cut and cut an additional circle of Garden Green cardstock
and cut in half to frame behind the circle.
Use the Big Shot™
with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, emboss a piece of
Whisper White and Garden Green cardstock.
Cut two pieces of
Whisper White cardstock with the Big Shot™ and the Large Scallop Edgelit™ . Line up with the scallop edge and and emboss with the
Delicate Designs (snowflake) Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder. Also emboss with the snowflake folder a piece
of Certainly Celery DSP (lighly sand the snowflake embossing on the Certainly
Celery DSP layer).
Adhere two strips of
Garden Green cardstock behind the Certainly Celery DSP. Arrange per the sketch and add the 3/8”
Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon, Pearls and sentiment to finish off the card.

Celery, Gumball Green, Garden Green

Beautiful, Julie! Thanks for sharing with us at SUO Challenges.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful design and great use of monocratic greens and the embossing!
ReplyDeleteJulie, this is just spectacular! Love the monochromatic look, and that it's a Christmas card. Thanks for joining us at SUO Challenges.
ReplyDeletebeautiful card! I love all the layering.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is ONE B-utiful card!! Great job and thanks for sharing with us at HSS!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love all the greens and those trees look fabulous! Thanks for playing at HSS!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Julie. Love the colors, and Lovely as a Tree is probably my favorite stamp set-soooooooooo many possibilities!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie that's amazing. Did you stamp the furthest trees first and then build on them? I actually landed on this blog looking eco-friendly recyclable decorations for Christmas 2013, but I'm glad I did! Will definitely be trying to implement these in the future, look like real fun.
