Snowy Park Bench Card

Today I’m sharing a snowy park bench card with an evergreen tree and falling snow background.  This bench card is quite different than the black and white bench card I shared yesterday.   I used the Rubbernecker Stamps Park Bench, Deckle Hills, Greenery #1, Cardinals, 3 Pine Trees and Splatter Background to create this scene. 

Come see how I made this snowy park bench card.

The Snowy Tree Background

  • Stamp the front row of trees using Versafine Clair Shady Lane ink.  Note:  I am in love with the Versafine Clair inks.  They provide a crisp stamped image every time.
  • Create the second tree row by stamping off the image once on scrap paper before stamping on the scene base.  Repeat this step to complete the second row.
  • Heat dry the ink on the whole scene base with the heat gun to prepare for stamping the falling snow to avoid having embossing powder sticking to it.
  • Apply white pigment ink to the Splatter Background and stamp it on the scene.
  • Sprinkle white embossing powder over the scene, shake off excess and heat using the heat gun.  Note:  Sometimes it’s necessary to turn the card base face down and strike a few times on the back to remove excess powder.

The Die Cut Images

  • Use black cardstock to cut the bench.
  • Stamp the bench post with the Splatter Background and emboss with white embossing powder.
  • Use white cardstock to cut the deckle hills.
  • Cut the cardinals using red cardstock and color their beaks using a black marker.

Come see how I made this pretty snowy park bench card.

Assemble the Park Bench Card

  • Apply double stick tape to the back snow layer and attach it to the card base.
  • Use a strip of mounting tape to attach the front layer of snow to the card base.
  • Apply strips of mounting tape to the park bench, tuck it in behind the snow layer and attach to the card base.
  • Attach a few evergreen branches, red berries and red paper bow to the bench using glossy accents.
  • Use white Nuvo Crystal Drops to apply snow to the top rail and seat of the bench.
  • Finish the scene by attaching the three cardinals using small pieces of mounting tape.

Come see how I made this lovely snowy park bench card.
