Kia here for day 20 of the Random Act of Cardness series. Our prompt word today is “Pine”.
For my card I am using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Tall Pines and for my background I used distress inks in Pine Needles and Chipped Sapphire. The Pines are die cut using Arches cold press watercolour paper, and the shadow below is cut from cardstock.
I put down the Pine Needles and spritzed with water, then smooshed my white card into the ink. Drying the piece between applications I did the same thing with the Chipped Sapphire ink. I tried to keep the piece moving for the ethereal look.
To add ink to the Pines I put down the Pine Needle ink and spritzed with water, then dragged the trees through the ink, continuing several times to ensure good coverage. In the mixture of ink I also spritzed in perfect pearls mixed with water for a bit of sparkle.
Using my heat gun I dried the Pine trees, then glued the trees together with the white card shadowing the green Pines.
Once the background was dry I glued it to my white card base using Tombow glue. I then added the Pine Trees with foam squares to add further dimension to the trees.
And to finish in my original Misti I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black using VersaFine Clair ink.
I really like the moody look of the card, with the background adding that cold winter feel. I hope you have enjoyed it as well.
