Today’s card was a fun experiment with the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle, Watercolor Shapes, and Stitched Greenery.

First, I placed the tree from the Amazing Thanks Stamp Set on the lid of the Stamparatus.

Second, I used the largest rectangle from the Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set, and stamped the top third of the tree in Granny Apple Green Ink. Third, I lowered the lid on Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 5 1/4″. Fourth, I used the Watercolor Shapes Stamp, on an Acrylic Block, to stamp Granny Apple Green Ink on top of the tree.

These steps were repeated with Pear Pizzazz Ink and Garden Green Ink, cleaning the two stamps between colors. 

Then, I decided to obscure the tree a bit more by running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. Trees and leaves go together, right?

Amazing Thanks

Next, I cut the word “thanks,” from Basic Black Cardstock, using an Amazing Thanks Die. You can see the other words in the set in my Product List below. And, you can order the words and the stamp set in a bundle for a 10% savings.

After gluing “thanks” in place, I backed the layer with a stripe of Pattern Party Designer Paper, 3 3/4″ X 5 1/4″. This was layered on a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Finally, I added three, black, Classic Matte Dots, and my experiment was complete. 

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
