Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Trees

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too 🙂 

See full supply list at the bottom of this post 🙂 

Our challenge this week is Trees and I’ve used the Tim Holtz Forest Shadows die to create my fall forest scene. I cut the trees out and then blended Distress Ink onto them in Hickory Smoke and Black Soot. I cut an A2 Arch out of a panel of black cardstock and adhered the trees behind it.

I adhered this panel over a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock that I ink blended with Distress Oxides in Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Seedless Preserves and Victorian Velvet then sprayed with Distress Spritz in Seedless Preserves and splattered with fine dots of Black Soot Distress Paint.

To finish my card, I stamped the Grateful for You sentiment from the CZ Design Thank You Basics stamps and embossed in white, then die cut it and adhered it with foam dots.
