Tall Pines

Hello All,

For today I will be playing along with The Male Room and Fusion Card Challenge. I have decided to play with both the sketch and photo inspiration. Here is my card for today, enjoy!


The snowflake backdrop was done by inking up the stamp in an ombre style so it faded out along the edge of the die-cut circle border. I then applied a bit of DI Black Soot using an applicator to soften up a bit.

The 'Warm and Wishes' sentiment was from one metal die.
I simply cut it right down the middle to make room for the coppery 'birthday' sentiment.

The embossed copper trees flow nicely into the 'birthday' sentiment. I used a small white rectangular piece of paper to add the word 'birthday'. The split 'warm and wishes' were placed on the edges of the rectangle creating a pleasing aesthetic and focal point.

Challenges Entered:
Fusion: Winter
The Male Room: Anything Goes Masculine


Even though this is a masculine card I am giving it to my daughter. She is turning fourteen on Friday! She isn't the type who likes pink and frills. I thought this would be a perfect card for my 'little' poet. I put little in quotes because she is six inches taller than me. I remind her all the time 'You know, I am still your mother and I can still ground you.'.


Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.
