Snowy, Foxy Christmas

I like to have my Friday Night Live project determined at least a few days in advance. This week, however, I was 24 hours away with no idea what I was going to do, so I asked my Facebook followers. Mountain Air was suggested, so I went with it. Sort of. I got my inspiration from fellow demonstrator, Tammy Wilson. This card uses Mountain Air AND shows a simply technique to give a snowy day effect. Perfect as we got our first snowfall this week!

Paper Measurements (full list of supplies at the bottom of this post)

• Evening Evergreen card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
• Thick Basic White layer (2-5/8" x 3-7/8")
• Basic White layers (two 4" x 5-1/4", 3-1/2" x 4-3/4", 5/8" x 2")
• Storybook Gnomes DSP (fox)

Directions

1. Use a Blending Brush to apply Balmy Blue ink to the Thick Basic White layer.
2. Ink trees (I used both the single tree and the double tree images) in Old Olive ink and then use a sponge dauber to apply Evening Evergreen randomly and directly to the stamp, then stamp onto the Thick White layer. Repeat until you have all the trees you want.
3. Mix a little water with Whisper White Craft ink, then use a Water Painter or paintbrush to flick it onto the Thick Basic White layer. Allow to dry naturally or use a heat tool.
4. Cut the fox out from the DSP. Splatter with Whisper White Craft ink as in Step 3 and dry. Adhere to tree layer with dimensionals.
5. Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink onto thin Basic White strip. Adhere that to the tree/fox layer.
6. Die cut the scalloped rectangle from the 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" Basic White layer). Adhere tree/fox layer to it.
7. Emboss one of the 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White layers using the pine bough folder from the Wintry 3D embossing folder collection. Repeat so the whole layer is embossed.
8. Adhere embossed layer to card base, then adhere the scalloped rectangle/tree/fox layer to that using dimensionsals.
9. Stamp trees and sentiment on the inside of the card using Old Olive and/or Evening Evergreen ink. Stamp envelope similarly.
