Beauty of Friendship

I have to admit that I always love to have a tree stamp set. I’ve enjoyed all the different ones that Stampin’ Up! has created. I think this one will be one of my favorites. 

First, here’s the card that I created. 

Here’s how you can make it.
1. On Early Espresso card stock and with Early Espresso ink, stamp the bare tree. Die cut this image.
2. Die cut the large tree from Early Espresso card stock.
3. Die cut the large branches from Evening Evergreen and adhere to the large tree with Tombow glue. 
4. Use the Basic Border dies to cut the sloping hill from a 4″ x 1  1/2″ piece of Evening Evergreen card stock.
5. On Basic White stamp the smaller leaves image with Evening Evergreen ink.
6. Die cut with the outline die.
7. Use Basic Gray ink and the blending brushes to mute the colors- especially the white edges. 
8. Adhere this to the small tree. 
9. Cut a 5 1/4″ x 4″ mat from Misty Moonlight.
10. Adhere the hill to the bottom.
11. Place but do NOT adhere the trees to the mat. Determine where you would like your moon to be. Using a scrap piece of card stock that has a small circle hole in it as a mask, daub white craft ink in the circle. Leave the coverage uneven. (I used the smallest plain circle from the Layering Circle dies to make the mask.)
12. Adhere the large tree on the mat. 
13. Adhere the mat to the front of a Basic White Thick card base cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
14. Pop up the smaller tree on mini-dimensionals. 
15. Color the moon with Wink of Stella.
16. Stamp “Thinking of You” in Misty Moonlight and cut with the thin rectangle die. 
17. Tie a bow with the Misty Moonlight/Silver baker’s twine from the Flowers for Every Season pack and use a glue dot to place it on the card.
