The Grove Dies are perfect for creating scenes showing the changing seasons. Can you tell this is Autumn? First, I decided on a Very Vanilla card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Second, I used the large, Grove Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, 5″ X 4 1/4″, and the long, narrow die to trim the tree tops.
Autumn Scene
Third, using a Blending Brush, I colored the leaves with Mango Melody and Cajun Craze Inks, and the tree trunks with Soft Suede Ink. After coloring, I attached the grove to the card base with a huge number of tiny Dimensionals. I don’t recommend this, if you’re planning to make more than one. LOL
Next, I used the deer dies to cut Basic White Cardstock, and colored Mama and Baby with a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede Ink, and glued them in place.
The last step was adding the sentiment from the Hope & Peace Stamp Set. I stamped “with love &hope” in Soft Suede Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, and used my Paper Snips to fussy cut. The sentiment was glued to the trees, already raised by Dimensionals, and my card was complete.
I was inspired by The Paper Players.
