The Life Is Beautiful is one of my new favorite stamp sets! I love this tree and the way you can add bunches of leaves or snow….and that birdhouse is so sweet!
I’ll walk you through making this card and how I recovered from smudging ink where I didn’t want it. Does that ever happen to you?
Tips & Instructions
Calypso Coral Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Whisper White - 5 1/4 x 4
Stamp tree image on the Whisper White Layer with Soft Suede Ink - I used the Stamparatus since the stamp is so large
Stamp the patch of dirt at the base of the tree with Soft Suede Ink, stamping off first to get a lighter shade
Stamp leaves on tree and along the bottom with Calypso Coral Ink, stamping a second image without re-inking
Stamp leaves on tree and along the bottom with Daffodil Delight Ink
Stamp sentiment with Soft Suede Ink
Color birdhouse stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers (Basic Black for hanger, Real Red for birdhouse and Pacific Point for the birds), breathe on stamp and then stamp on tree branch
