Framescape Happy Birthday Wishes

I love this lovely lake and evergreen tree scene by Gina K. Designs. I stamped the image with Gina K. Designs Christmas Pine and then again with VersaMark Ink and heat set it with clearing embossing powder. This keeps the crisp green color for the trees white you add color to the rest of the nature scene. Usually I would ink blend the sky and lake, but this time I decided to used Copic Markers. I added reflections of the trees in the lake by adding some irregular squiggly lines. Once the scene was complete I decided to add the birds in the sky and the boat on the lake.

As a finishing touch I created a wooden frame using Hero Arts Wood Frame Infinity Die and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks. It added to the woodsy feel to the card.

Birthday Leaves with Birch Trees

I saw this embossing folder by Stampin’ Up called Woodland, which makes a beautiful background for leaves and other nature based cards. I stamped the Gina K. Designs Stitched Leaves first in Ink On 3 Fade Out Ink using my MISTI. I then colored them with Copic Markers and then restamped them with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. I didn’t have a large acorn stamp, so I found a digital image and used my VersaMark Pen to add the gold embossing powder. Really like the looks of this fall based birthday card.
