Hello today I'm sharing another card I created using the November 2014 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I created a snowy scene on a strip of cardstock using the embossed resist technique for the background and adding stamped trees, snow drifts and hearts.
I stamped the snow "dots" from the Be Joyful Stamp Set on white cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed the "snow" with white embossing powder. Then I applied Peacock Feathers Distress Ink over the embossed area using the Mini Ink Blending Tool to create the "sky".
I die cut snow drifts for the bottom of the scene using the Stitched Slopes and Hills dies. I stamped the greeting from the Be Joyful Stamp Set on the top snow drift using MFT Black Licorice Hybrid Ink.
I stamped the trees from the Be Joyful Stamp Set using Fern Ink and Green Apple Ink and fussy cut the images. For the tree "trunks" I trimmed a thin piece of the Khaki Cardstock and inked the strip with Sparrow Ink to darken the cardstock.
I adorned the trees with chunky glitter adhered with Glossy Accents. I embellishmed the card with the enamel hearts from the November Kit and added patterned paper strips along either side of the snowy scene.
I finished the corners with the Corner Chomper Crop-a-dile.
To see how I put this card together from start to finish, watch out the video below or view on youtube HERE:

That is such a pretty card! I love the snowy background and the chunky glitter on those trees. I think I have some of that in my stash, too, but I've never used it. The tip for coloring the tree trunks is such a simple idea, but one that I often forget. Thanks for the reminder. Love the video!
