Silver Pines - Year in Review Challenge - Altenew

Today I created a card for Altenew's monthly challenge. For this month we are to select any of the inspiration photos from the past year of challenges. For this card I selected the colour scheme from April 2016. I am also participating in CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #200 - congratulations!



I flipped the sketch 180 degrees and used some of my newly acquired products from Altenew and Pretty Pink Posh. Thank you Altenew for your generous prize. I had a lot of fun using the Pine Tree stamp to create a number of A2 sized cards. For this card I taped off a section with painters tape and sponged a winter scene. I then started building my pine tree from the top using Versafine Onyx Black. I stamped the top using the full stamp then worked my way down the sides being sure to only ink up 1/2 to 2/3 of the bottom of the stamp, then filling in the center of the tree. Once the ink was completely dry I repeated the process with the other stamp in the set and VersaMark ink, then heat embossed with silver. A silver sentiment and some glittery snow flakes from PPP completes the card.

I created a similar card with only one tree - 

Supplies:
Stamps - Pine Tree (Altenew)
Paper - Stampers Select White (PTI)
Ink - Gypsy, Lagoon, Moonstruck, Outdoor Denim, Grey Wool (CTMH), VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx black, Silver EP
Other - painters tape, snowflake sequins (PPP)

  3. Hi! I'm actually responding to your June 25, 2013 post-A touch of gold part 2! I tried there but it did not work. I was researching that hot glue gun technique and stumbled on a stamp set that I just love!! it is called Botanical Silhouettes (PTI). Would you or anyone you know like to sell it?
