Best Wishes – Of Art & Texture

Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#674) challenge.  Jaydee has given us a Slim Line sketch to work with and I opted for the smaller version. 

On another card that I created using the stamp set Of Art & Texture, an On-Line Exclusive product, one of the images reminded me of a Pine Tree.  That being said, the Facebook SU! Only Colour selection for January was perfect match for Trees.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (6” x 7” scored at 3½”) Pecan Pie cardstock.
• Accent Mat: (5½” x 2¾”) Early Espresso cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (5¼” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The smaller Texture image was stamped five (5) times at varying heights with Granny Apple Green ink.
  • One Line from the Lined image was colored with the Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and stamped in the center of the previous stamped images to represent Tree Trunks.
  • The sentiment, Best Wishes, from the Sentimental Park stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie in the lower right corner.
  • The little Scatter Dots image, from the Petal Park stamp set was also stamped randomly with 2^nd Generation (stamped off once) Pecan Pie ink.
  • To reflect the “Boxes” that are present in the sketch, I used the Big Shot Embossing Mats with my Big Shot Machine to dry-emboss the frames around the Trees using the (1¼” x 1¾”) die from the retired Stitched Rectangles Framelits Dies set.

I kept the card clean and simple as I thought this would be an excellent masculine birthday card.
