I just love the blend of this colour palette and went in a rather unusual direction by using the colours to blend this tree from the Frosted Forest bundle.
This bundle includes a stamp set, dies and a set of layering stencils which makes the colouring of the images so quick and easy.
The leaves on the tree were blended in all 4 colours, Partial shading through the masks enabled me to create a beautiful autumnal colour. The tree trunk was blended with Pecan Pie and Petal Pink. Mixing colours in this way gives beautiful shading and creates alternate colours.
I blended Pecan Pie ink on the bottom of the Basic White panel to ground the tree while adding some shading against the sentiment. I used a blender pen and the Pecan Pie ink refill to colour in the birds to add as a simple embellishment.
The Country Lace Designer Series Paper adds a subtle background which adds texture while still letting the beauty of the tree stand out. A bow tied from the thick Very Vanill Satin ribbon creates a lovely feature to pull this card together and adds elegance to this card.
This card is great as a masculine card and although I’ve created this for a birthday, I think this would be suitable as a Father’s Day card, retirement card or sympathy card.
Take a look at the Online Store to see the Frosted Forest bundle and other exclusive products that are out-of catalogue releases.

Welcome to the Caseing the Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. For CTC470 we are CASEing the colours of the Frames & Flowers Designer Seriees Paper. This specialty paper pack is a 12″ x 12″ pack with 3 sheets of double sided paper and 3 sheets of paper with die-cut greenery elements.
There are several colours in this DSP, so picking a combination was fun. These are the colours in the images – Early Espresso, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam.
Here’s what I ended up with.
I used the Enduring Beauty stamp set, masks and dies to create a focal image. The flowers were blended in Lost Lagoon. For the extra detail I added more colour to create a deeper shade.
The leaves were blended in Soft Sea Foam with a little bit of Garden Green at the bottom. The veins of the leaves were detailed with a touch of Shaded Spruce.
I used a strip of the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper for the small panel on the right. This was embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. On this I added some Pretty Peacock ink with a sponge dauber.
In my stash, I had a panel of Fluid 100 Cardstock which I had painted with Tuxedo Black ink refill using a Water Painter. I cut a thin strip of this and adhered it to some Basic White Cardstock. From this I die cut a label on which the sentiment was stamped.
I added a bird from the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack which I coloured with my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. To complete the card I included some Petal Pink Foiled Gems. So, I ended up using 6 of the colours!
Next on our hop is Peta Stephen. Please follow through our hop for lots of amazing projects.
