Christmas Pines – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Checks

November 6, 2018 admin

Welcome, here it is Wednesday and the week-end is on the way. As red is one of my favorite colors, the other being purple, I will love doing this As You See It Challenge.

This was a fast and easy card, but pretty from my point of view. I guess you could say that is in the eye of the beholder.

The Buffalo Check Stamp Pad was used in making this card. The Stamparatus was used so that it could be stamped as many times as necessary to get the depth of color desired. The stamp was inked with Memento Black in and stamped on a 5-1/4″ x 4″ panel of Cherry Cobbler.

The log panel at the top is from the Wood Texture DSP. It was fussy cut and adhered with Liquid Glue. The antlers were cut from the Night Owl Thinlits Dies also using a panel of Wood Texture DSP. It is a tree limb, but turned the right direction it can look like antlers. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the Buffalo Check panel twice and tied in a knot.

The greeting is cut using a scalloped oval die and stamped with a branches stamp from the Christmas Pines stamp set. The “happy birthday is a stamp from an old Paper Pumpkin that I cut in two pieces so it would fit this label. It is popped over the antlers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink on a panel of Whisper White and matted on a Cherry Cobbler panel.

As always my hope for you is that you found encouragement or inspiration for your own creative endeavors whatever they maybe. Visit often. Have a great day!
