Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 36 ~ All is Merry ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet holiday card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 36 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I just had to pair up the whimsical trees from the All is Merry stamps with the pretty trees from the Season Starter {paper pack}.

I started with my background. I trimmed the tree papers to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and adhered them to a white A2 top fold card base. I then trimmed the red papers to 2-1/4 x 4-3/4". I used a few scraps from my paper pack. They are trimmed to 2" in width and either 1-1/2" or 1-1/4".

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 36. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. My side panel is a little larger this time measuring 4-3/4" in length.

I stamped the whimsical trees with Old Paper Distress Ink. I colored the stars, heart and trunks with a few Copic markers: Y15, R27, E21, E25. Next, I die cut the trees using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I distressed the edges of the circle with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. And then I added foam tape to the back and popped it up on the card.

The sentiment for my card comes from the Frosted Lace stamps. I stamped it with the Old Paper Distress ink, trimmed it and adhered it directly to the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky Hugs,
