To create the WillowGrove Christmas Tree card I used one of my favourite techniques.
The first step is to ink the Christmas tree stamp with Lettuce, Currant and Red Pepper Adirondack ink. I prefer to use only the corners of the ink pad so I don't get the entire inkpad dirty with other colours.Using a waterbottle, mist droplets of water onto your stamp. The best way to do this is similar to applying your perfume. Hold your stamp image side up and wave underneath the mist of water. This rehydrates the ink on the stamp. The more water that you mist onto your stamp, the softer the image will appear.
Now you are ready to stamp your image onto cream cardstock.
The next step is to apply Caramel Adirondack ink onto the cardstock using a sponge.
Press the sponge onto the inkpad and then rub the ink onto the cardstock.
Drag the edges of the cardstock over the Currant Adirondack inkpad. This is a wonderful way to add a hint of colour to the edges of your image.
The final step is to mist a touch of Lettuce Adirondack Color Wash.
Adhere your Christmas tree onto cardstock and next onto a Scrapbook paper background.
