3 Trees and a Winner



First, congratulations to EFY as the winner of the Kaiser rhinestones. I don't see your email so you have 48 hours to contact me or I'll draw another winner.
Have you ever seen tiny little landscape paintings on items like buttons? I was priviledged enough to get to watch artists paint them once at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. I was fascinated because I am a BIG painter (wall murals and large canvas). I am also a BIG stamper and I feel cramped in tiny spaces. As a stretch for myself, I wanted to make a tiny little scene using these gorgeous little trees from FireCracker Designs by Pamela.

I stamped the trees and colored them with Copics. I sponged Sage Shadow almost to the line of the trees. And finally I added some Blue Bayou sponging just on the outside edge of the sky. A frame, ribbon, DP, embossing and an icicle border finished this piece.

Stamps: FireCracker Designs by Pamela Duck the Halls
Paper: Blue Bayou, Sage Shadow, Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly DP, GP 110
Ink: Soft Sage, Blue Bayou, Momento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copics, Nesties Labels 3, ribbon from Pink Hedgehog, Martha Stewart Icicles Punch, D’Vine Swirls embossing Folder


NOTE: Don't miss the sale over at FireCracker and be sure to get your order in by December 15th as they will be closed until the first of the year.

Enjoy!

Adorable! Love all the swirls and the icicles. The way you colored the little trees is beautiful:)

Even though the scene is small, the feel of the card is large. Maybe the dynamic swirls are making it feel that way.

I discovered your blog during the Snowman March and cannot wait until I have a little more time to enjoy your previous posts.
