Clarity stamp challenge 8





Here's my card for this months challenge over at Claritystamp.

I've been wanting to use this clarity tree stencil to make silver trees ever since I bought it. The stencil was too big to go through my Big Shot machine so I couldn't figure out how to do it easily.  So, I bought a Grand Calibur, problem sorted! The stencil was inked up with Encore silver metallic ink, then put through the Grand Calibur (debossed trees). When the ink was dry I added Cloudy Blue Adirondak to the sky with hints of colour to make a few snowy hills. Added a moon by inking up some card with Silver ink and placed it behind a punched aperture.  Stamped the verse in Stonewashed Adirondak, matted and layered using blue card to match the layered tree scene. Then added tiny gems to represent the silver fruit mentioned in the quote:)  The front of the A5 card was embossed in the Grand Calibur with a woodgrain embossing folder. 
 I really enjoyed making this card, it turned out even nicer than expected:)
