I am doing a sample for Maki's "favorite stamp set" challenge (FTTC52F)! Please check out the Flourishes Anniversary Celebration post to find out how to play along!My favorite Flourishes stamp has to be this Forest of Trees image by Flourishes. I made an easel card using Soft Stone and Enchanted Evening card stock. I stamped the tree with Versamark and embossed it with Winter Wonderland ep, then layered it using the Nestabilities labels 4 and Top Note die cuts. I embossed the Top Note panel with the CB Snowflakes ef and added some matching ribbon to the Soft Stone panel and the top of the tree. I added a clear star gemstone to the center of the ribbon. The bottom of the card was stamped with snowflakes and the sentiment from a SU! set called Snow Swirled using enchanted evening ink and stamped off once for a softer look. The sentiment was also cut using the Nestabilities Labels 4 die cuts. I already have one card done for next Christmas :)
Thanks for a great challenge Maki and thanks for stopping by!

Holy GORGEOUS-NESS!! Love the striking blue and white, and I love all the foam-backed layers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christmas card. I love everything about it. The tree is a great stamp and i live how you used the CB snowflakes behind it. The polka dots on the ribbon give a feeling of snow.
