Today we are celebrating the stamp set “Lovely As A Tree”. After quite a long run, this stamp set will be retiring, If you don’t already have this stamp set, you need to get one or even a new one to replace that old set from years ago.
This set is extremely versatile, while there are no words in the set, the images can be used for a variety of occasions and holidays.
For my first card, I’ve chosen a sympathy card, Lovely as a Tree has always been my go to stamp set for these types of cards.
- Pool Party Card base
- Basic Black mat (adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals)
- Whisper White for stamping
- Ink up the stamp in Memento black ink
- Stamp on large acrylic block and then to bottom half of paper (for reverse mirror image)
- Stamp image on top half of Whisper White
- Using Sponge Brayer add color to the paper to look like sky, ground and water
- Crushed Curry
- Powder Pink
- Granny Apple Green
- Balmy Blue
- Greeting is from the Kindness and Compassion stamp set, stamped in Memento Black on Pool Party card stock
My second card is Autumn themed and here I’ve teamed the stamp set with a greeting from Rooted in Nature (you will want to get that bundle now while you still can save 10%).
- Soft Suede Card base
- Real Red mat
- Whisper White for stamping
- Ink the leaf in Pineapple Punch, then using sponge daubers add some Real Red and Grapefruit Grove – no two leaf’s are the same!
- Greeting in Soft Suede
- Before adding Real Red to the base, tied on Braided Linen Trim
- Gold Metallic Pearls finish the card (or hide a ink mishap)
For my last card I’ve teamed up Lovely as a Tree with a greeting from Itty Bitty Greetings for the holiday card.
- Cherry Cobbler card base
- Vellum card stock embossed with Tin Tile folder
- Mossy Meadow card stock mat
- Whisper White Rectangle Stitched shape for stamping
- Stamp the tree, use a small paint brush to add liquid glue and dust with Dazzling Diamond glitter for sparkle
- Greeting is in Cherry Cobbler ink
