It is an absolute thrill to have Kittie back with us in the CLASSroom once again sharing how it is that she creates her magical scenes AND inspiring you to give it a try! If you are not familiar with Kittie's work you must visit her blog Kittie Krafts. For additional inspiration I am also going to link you back to the first guest post she shared with all of us here in the CLASSroom
We know you all have the dies she is using so let's get them out and create something fun ;-D
Kittie, thank you so much for continuing to inspire us AND teach us how we can create beautiful scenes using the dies we have in our stash! - Ellen
I am so excited to be presenting you a “Scene It” challenge in celebration of World Card Making Day. With all the fantastic dies available to us today the scene possibilities are endless. I have a fun snowy tree and deer project to share that I hope will inspire you to try one of your own.
Cut three green and white tree line sections to create the snowy layers.
Cut the trees off the white sections.
Crimp the green tree sections with the straight crimper and the white snow sections with the wavy sections. Crimping adds such fun dimension to the scene. Maybe you should think about taking yours out and dusting it off. Apply adhesive to the back of the white sections and attach to the green tree section. Trim the ends of each section to match the size of the card base. I off set my tree sections to remove the uniform appearance and a more natural tree line.
Lightly apply Liquid Applique to the top of the tree, lightly dab and spread with your finger and heat set. You can apply a light second coat, dab and heat to create a fuller snowy tree top.
Sponge brown ink on the deer to add color and bring them to life. I cut mine apart so I could attach them a little closer.
Attach the deer in between the trees on the front section of trees and attach a piece of mounting tape.
Apply tiny dots of Liquid Applique to the blue card base to create falling snow and heat set.
I attached the top and second sections directly to the card base with adhesive. I popped up the lower layer with the mounting tape. I secured a few of the taller trees in place with rolled up glue dots.
Now it’s your turn! My challenge for you today is to grab some of your favorite dies and create a scene project. I hope you have fun. Once you have completed this challenge please be certain to link directly to that specific project in our WCMD Challenge Blog Candy post!
