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.

Magenta Super Saturday - O Christmas Tree!

Welcome back to my blog and Magenta Super Saturday.  Today I am using the new Christmas tree stamp from Magenta’s 2021 Holiday release.  You can also see my card on the Magenta blog here. 

I placed the stamp in my stamp positioner, stamped with VersaFine Black Onyx ink on a piece of white cardstock, then used Prismacolor colored pencils to color the image.  I returned the stamp to my stamp positioner, stamped with VersaMark ink, and embossed with Judikins Pine Twinkle embossing powder.  I shaded the outer edges around the tree with Distress Tumbled Glass Oxide ink. 

To create the frame, I cut a piece of red linen cardstock and two pieces of 65# white cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼”.  I stacked all three pieces together and cut them with the Penny Black Stitched Frames frame die.  This process ensures all three pieces are cut in the same position.  If the die doesn’t cut through all three pieces of cardstock, lift off the cut layer then just fit the die back into imprint on the next layer, and die cut again.  Glue all three layers together then trim down the stamped image to fit behind the frame.  Glue the frame to the stamped image, then to the front of an A2 card.  To finish I added some Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops in the background for a bit more sparkle.
