The idea for this card isn't entirely my own, spotted it a little while ago and decided to give it a try although I must apologise for not crediting the source. You know how it is - you see something that sticks in your mind and then cannot find it again 🙄. What I did remember is that you start out with a stencil and ink up a piece of card and then some of the motifs were cut out and used as 3-D 'trees'. I inked a piece of cream card to give the impression of a landscape and then stamped a couple of trees to form a backdrop.. I chose three sections of the stencilled piece and cut them out, inking the edges slightly. Popped them into place and then stamped a couple of hares and some flying birds to complete the scene. I dithered a bit about adding a sentiment, eventually deciding I would.

ReplyDeleteA great little scene and brilliant stencil work. I'm not surprised the idea stuck in your mind.
Those tiny birds are a great finishing touch.
