Impression Obsession Die Cut and Stamped Tree Scene

 

Good Saturday afternoon.  I haven’t been able to play the last few days due to a few long work days.  It was good to get my dies and stamps out this morning.  I have a scene project to share with you today combining die cuts and stamped images.  I took step by step pictures to show how I used stamped images to create a layer of dimension behind the dies and the steps I take to build the die cut scene.

1.  I cut the tree and leaf clusters.

2.  I cut the smaller leaf clusters apart to create individual leaves to make them small enough to fit on the tree die

3.  I applied glossy accents to the branches and attached the leaves.

4,  I punched out several light and dark pink 1/8” circles and formed them with my tiniest stylus.

5.  I applied glossy accents  to the leaves and attached the tiny flowers to cover the tree.

6.  I stamped the solid tree image on white cardstock to create a template for stamping the leaves.  The stamped image is a little light but it doesn’t matter as it will be totally covered with the die cut tree.

7.  I stamped leaves from the solid tree set all around the branches to fill in and create a full leafy base behind the tree die

8.  I used a dark pink Copic marker to hand color flowers all around in the leaves.9

9.  I used an ink blending tool and a hand cut cloud template to create clouds in the sky area.12

10.  I used a color box stylus and foam tip to apply a green base for the ground area.  14

11.  I stamped the leaf image on the ground area to create a foliage background and created a few flowers with the Copic marker.

15

12.  I cut two grass borders and attached 1/4” punched flowers to create a floral border.

16

13.  I placed a strip of mounting tape across the bottom of the scene and attached the grass borders and flowers.

17

14.  I finished the scene by attaching scalloped borders cut with decorative scissors to both the top and bottom to frame.

I love how the stamped foliage behind the tree adds depth and interest to the scene.
