Woodland Hearth in Colored Pencils

Hello, crafty friends!! I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend (those of you who celebrate)!! I am sharing a card today featuring the Woodland Hearth stamp set!!

I just love that this set contains the sweet couple and several bunnies that you can add to represent your own family!! Since it is just my husband & I in our little family, I only used the adorable bunny couple.

I began by stamping the background image from Woodland Hearth onto one panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versa Clair Nocturne Ink and stamped the couple on another panel. I colored all of the images with Polychromos colored pencils. I used the following colors: Greens: Pine Green, Leaf Green, Light Green; Browns: Walnut Brown, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber; Grays: Cold Gray 2, Cold Gray 4; Reds: Middle Cadmium Red, Madder; Light Ultramarine; Sky Bluish Turquoise. I die-cut a panel of teal cardstock with a scalloped rectangle die from Honey Bee Stamps and trimmed the colored background panel down to fit inside. 

I fussy cut the bunnies and popped them up on my background with foam adhesive. Diluted white gouache was splattered onto my scene for falling snow. (This is one of my favorite techniques to use on winter cards!!) The scene panel was adhered to the scalloped rectangle and then to the white card base. I added some snow to the trees with a Marvy Snow Marker and heated it until it “puffed up”. The sentiment was the final step...it was white heat embossed with Wow! Opaque White Embossing Powder onto a black cardstock strip. The sentiment strip was also popped up with foam tape.

I absolutely adore this stamp set!! I can’t wait to make another card with it!!
