SC676 Woodland Birthday

Hi Friends!

It’s Wednesday and time for the weekly sketch at Splitcoaststampers! Carey designed our SC676 sketch this week and I decided to create a simple Mixed Media "quilt" card using the new Scene Silhouettes:Woodland and Thoughtful Words Clear Stamp Sets (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps).

I absolutely love the Scene Silhouettes:Woodland stamp set and you can receive it free with a $60 order in the month of December from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps!

I was also inspired by the Time Out #98 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the color of the wood along with the green and the deer) as well as the HappyLittle Stampers December Mixed Media “Anything Goes” Challenge and the WordArt Wednesday #312-#313 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the SC676 Splitcoaststampers’ Sketch gallery or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Die cut a 3 ¾” square piece of kraft cardstock with a square die. De-static the cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the deer image from Scene Silhouettes:Woodland with Versamark™ Ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.

2). Die cut two quilts using a log cabin quilt die- one from white cardstock and the other from green.  Cut out the center of the white cardstock frame and use the stitched panels from the green to create the frame around the deer image.

3). Using a stencil brush with distress ink, stencil the flourish pattern over the entire deer and quilt frame.  Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the kraft cardstock around the deer image.

4). Using the same stencil with the same color ink, stencil the entire pattern onto another piece of white cardstock, die cut with a stitched rectangle die and mount onto green cardstock.  Mount the entire panel onto the white card base.

5). De-static the lower part of the frame with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Thoughtful Words with Versamark™ ink, apply white embossing poweder and heat set with the heat tool.

6). Mount the deer focal image panel onto the card front with dimensional foam and add the copper sequins to finish off the card.
