Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop!

Happy Sunday!  I am popping in with a card to share for Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop Inspiration Challenge.

For my card, I focused on the colors, snowflake, and the tree to create a peaceful outdoor scene.  I started with some PTI aqua mist card stock.  I sponged around the edges some tumbled glass and broken china distressed oxide inks.  I stenciled the snowfall scene from Fairy Tale Christmas Collection using Picket Fence distressed ink.

Next, I die cut snow hills and layered.  I added a Pierced Feature Frame using PTI select white card stock and foam tape to pop up over the aqua mist panel.  I die cut and stamped the Enchanted Forest stamp set and Enchanted Forest die set.  I used Bundled Sage distressed oxide ink for the base color of the tree foliage and I used pinefeather ink for the top layer of my trees.  I love this color combination to give a real spruce-like color.  For the trunks I used cocoa bean and dark chocolate inks.  

I arranged the trees within the window frame.  I used Wine Bottle Tag 2 for the sentiment strip that I die cut using Pure Poppy card stock.  I white embossed the sentiment from Sentiment Staples:  Christmas Mini stamp set.  The tiny red bird comes from the MIM Mini Holiday Kit.  It was just the perfect size.

I stamped a few snowflakes that also come in the Enchanted Forest stamp set  in aqua mist ink and tucked around the sentiment. I finished my card with a few clear sequins.  

As always thanks so much for hopping by!
