September 2018: Winter Woods

Our third card this month has more of a winter theme.  This new stamp set, Winter Woods, was intentionally created to pair with our Rooted in Nature stamp set as well as our beloved set Lovely as a Tree.


We used Crumb Cake for the layers and also to stamp the trees,  The trees are stamps twice, from right to left to fill in the whole card space.

The sentiment is from a retired Paper Pumpkin set, but you could use anything here.  I also stamped a little pine cone in Crumb Cake and then embellished with 3 epoxy dots.

I tried tucking the trees behind the snow bank but I like this better. 

Anyway, I love the beautiful white "birch" trees.  I bet if you drew little lines on the trunks it would make it look more realistic but I didn't think of that until just now.

Again I used the Multipurpose Adhesive sheets on the trees.  So much easier to attach the trees.  See my post on September 19, 2018 for how I found it easiest to apply. 

There is a great die in this bundle to make the snow banks!  I've had to freehand cut them before or tear paper and I like this much better, since mine never seemed to look just right.  A little Wink of Stella would be a plus to on the snow and trees.  Also some of our shimmer paint, on page 38 in our 2018 Holiday catalog would be great too on the trees and snow.
