Magenta Super Saturday - Keep a Green Tree in Your Heart

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  Today I used the new “Bare Tree” stamp from Magenta’s most recent release. You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here.

I began by cutting a circle mask from a piece of masking paper. 
I used Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress inks to create a sun on a piece of white cardstock.  I placed the circle cutout over the inked sun, then created a sky background using Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and a bit of Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks. 
I positioned the tree stamp in my stamp positioner and inked it with TomBow markers and Distress inks.  I stamped the tree again with another shade of green inks and continued until I was happy with the stamped image.  I stamped the ”Flock of Geese” stamp twice with black ink so the image covered the width of the card.   I shaded the area under the tree with Shabby Shutters Distress ink, then stamped the sentiment.  To finish off the card, I used the largest die from the Penny Black Stitched Frames die to cut a frame from white cardstock that I had shaded with Tea Dye Distress ink.  I adhered the frame on the card and then to the front of an A2 card. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
