Holly Framed Trees

Good Sunday morning. I recently purchased the Memory Box Jolly Holly Frame and couldn’t wait to use it. I thought it would be pretty to create a nature scene in the frame opening. I thought it would look like you were looking through close up branches out to a scene in the distance.

I applied ink to the tree stamp, misted with water , stamped on the cardstock and repeated the steps to stamp across the whole page. I heat dried the trees and then sponged in blue ink in the sky area using an ink blending tool. I finished by laying the scene in my splatter cubby and splattering white gesso to create the soft falling snow. I hand cut a piece of white cardstock to create the snow bank and attached it directly to the scene base.

I applied stickles to all the red holly berries, set aside to dry and then attached it to the card base with thin strips of mounting tape. I love the falling holly branches. I think they look so pretty.

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a great Sunday.

Love your card today. The holly branch looks so pretty with the stamped snowy tree scene. Pretty as a picture.

Good Morning, Kittie, OH!MY! what a beautiful scene. I love these trees and the holy adds so much to that time of year as well as the snow. they all look so real, I can smell the pine, and feel the snow. Just gorgeous….LOL

Hi Kittie,
I follow you each day and am in love with your cards. I don’t always have the time to write a comment – sorry.
This card today is exactly what you wanted it to look like. It is wonderful!! Love the Holly die!! I feel like I am in the house looking out the window and the holly is hanging in front of it and the awesome trees are further out in the yard :o)
BEAUTIFUL!!
