Deer Trio and Evergreens

Good Tuesday morning.  My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Technique Lovers Challenge to make our own stencil.  I used the negative of the largest tree from the Impression Obsession Fir Trees set and sponged in the background trees in the distance.  Here’s what I came up with.

I cut the tree out of a piece of scrap cardstock and used the negative opening as a stencil to sponge in the trees in the background of the scene.  I sponged the sky area with blue. I cut several trees using olive cardstock and sponged then lightly with green ink to make them march the background trees. I cut the deer using kraft cardstock and sponged them lightly with brown.

I created a matted frame and attached over the sponged tree background scene with mounting tape.  I attached the back row of die cut trees in the scene with mounting tape.  I attached the left and right trees on the front row with double layers of masking tape.  I attached the deer to the trees with mounting tape and finished by adding the middle tree with triple layers of masking tape. I know it sounds like lots of layers but I love the dimension it creates.  Here is a closer view from the side to show the depth of the scene. You can click on the photos for an even closer view.

 

I used a tiny brush and applied tiny dots of pure white watercolor paint to create the falling show.  I love how this turned out.  It simple and such a perfect card for a guy.

Here is a very similar card I made back in the summer using the negative of a tree die.   You can see step by step pictures of the steps I used to make the background.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

Two wonderful cards, Kittie! Great snowy trees and deer on the green card. Lovely trees in blue w/a female reindeer with her touch of pink, tiny flower on her neck. Such a cool detail! :)
