Hello. Welcome. I'm kinda a clean and simple sort of girl usually, but I have a seen a stamp a few times that looks like you fell over in the forest and you are staring up at a ring of trees. Well, I had a tree, and I wondered if I could recreate the look of a whole forest.
The moose and tree are from Joy Clair's Merry Christmoose set. I stamped the moose in the corner and masked him. Then I stamped the tree like a gazillion times with Pine Needle and Iced Spruce distress ink. Then I had an idea to add some details to the trees but stamping it with black archival all over the place again. I stamped the sentiment from Joy Clair Butterfly Kisses set, and also a couple of the small butterflies to fussy cut and cover a couple of wayward branches. I coloured the moose with Promarkers and tried to make him look not xmas. I decided the white circle needed to be a bit more sunny, so gave it a Mustard Seed distress ink wash and then smeared some Gold Brilliance ink around to give the whole scene a sunny glow, and also stamped a few more trees!! Back to the clean and simple me thinks.........
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
