Mountain Air

 This view is destined to make anyone feel better. I would love to be sitting by this window with a warm cup of coffee, enjoying the view. 

Stamps:

   Waterfront

   Itty Bitty Greetings

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 4-1/4 x 3-1/2

   Whisper White 4-1/4 x 3-1/2 (trim)

   Marina Mist 5-1/4 x 4

   Early Espresso 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   Marina Mist

   Mossy Meadow

   Pear Pizzazz

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Window Die

   Woodgrain Embossing Folder

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the window frame on the Very Vanilla panel.

I then took the Whisper White panel and laid the window frame on top of it. I lightly made pencil marks marking the corners of the panes. This way, I know what will show through the window.

Next, I sponged the sky using Marina Mist.

I then stamped the mountains and the cabin using Early Espresso. Stamping two or three times without re-inking gives the image dimension.

I then moved on to stamping the trees using Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz. I did my best to not stamp directly onto the cabin. I used the Pear Pizzazz for the ground cover as well.

This completed my view through the window. I found that my pencil marks disappeared as I stamped and sponged. Check for marks and erase if necessary.

I then took the window frame and stamped my sentiment on the bottom of it. I used Early Espresso for this. 

I also trimmed back my Whisper White panel a bit on the sides. This is to make sure that none of it will appear past the window frame when it is put together.

I then dry embossed my Early Espresso panel using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. This panel was adhered to the Marina Mist panel which was then attached to the card base.

Lastly, I adhered my window scene onto my window frame, and attached it using adhesive.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Happy Birthday Owl

Using the owl builder punch allows you to dress up this owl as you wish. It is a great way to use up some of those tiny scraps of designer series paper. Then just use the same colors for the card base and inks to pull the card together. What are your thoughts?

First, I punched out my owl and put it all together. The pieces were punched from scraps of Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, and DSP.

Next, I dry embossed the Tip Top Taupe panel using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then flipped it over on the negative side (lines of woodgrain go inward), and added Crumb Cake ink with my brayer.

I punched out an oval with the extra-large oval punch where I wanted the owl to be. I then adhered the panel onto the Bermuda Bay card base.

The owl was added using dimensionals.

On a scrap piece of Whisper White, I stamped and punched out an extra-large oval, sponged it with Crumb Cake and adhered it with dimensionals. I adorned it with a couple of candy dots.
