Bright Storm Tree card created for Chocolate Baroque

Here is another quick and easy stamping project for you – make it in under 15 minutes.

I also sent this is as a sample for the recent Brusho and Design-A-Tree shows demonstrated by Lesley on the Craft Channel.

Materials:

• Design-A-Tree Woodland stamp set
• DL card blank and smooth white stamping card
• Alcohol marker and fine tipped drawing pen (black)
• Water based inks (yellow, orange, pink, purple, turquoise and green). I used Aquatints from Crafters Companion.
• Versafine Inkpad (Onyx Black)

How to make it:

1. Cut the stamping card to fit onto the card front and leave a small border. Colour the card brushing the colours and blending as you go. Use a fairly dry brush for the upper yellow and orange sky – so there is more texture in the sky. Dry.
2. Flick with water and lift off the ink with tissue. Dry.
3. Stamp the tree with Versafine ink.
4. Edge the card with black marker to frame. Use the fine tipped pen to draw a base and anchor the tree. Glue to the card blank.
