I'm made another card using this sweet die-cut of trees from Memory Box. I love this die. So easy to place a colourful background and stamp a sentiment. This time I went one step farther and stenciled "falling snow" with white embossing paste. I first placed my tree panel over my card base to get the positioning and stamped my sentiment (in blue). Removed the panel, placed a piece of temporary tape over the sentiment as a mask and then stenciled with embossing paste over the front of the card. Used diluted white acrylic paint to splatter some falling snow on the tree panel. Once the embossing paste was dry, removed the mask and adhered the tree panel, popping it up for extra dimension.
Here's a close-up ...

I LOVE your pretty background with the snow splatters. So pretty behind your trees die cut image. Love your falling snow stenciled EB paste background too. I need to add your die cut and stencil to my wishlist:-) TFS my friend. Hugs..
If I had not read your description I would have thought the base was dry embossed. How cool this looks! Your sprayed background turned out beautifully and once again you combined colors I would never have dreamed to put together. The stark white die cut trees are so perfect with this. I spy a card to case!
I love this die too and your background is perfect for it! Love the spattered snow and the stenciled snow on the card base!
Another stunning card Loll, love that background the colours are gorgeous and the stencilled snow looks great too...I thought it was an embossing folder at first
Hugs Kaz xx
This is a beautiful card, Loll. I love the back ground and the white trees look so peace3ful against the falling snow!
Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.
A fabulous card - I love the sky background you have created.

Fun mixed media elements on your beautiful card Loll. Great colours, great texture and so gorgeous...loving the sentiment stamped in the blue too x
love the blues for the sky, you have reminded me to pull out my Dick Blick inks. The stenciled background is a great addition. Beautiful card :)
What a pretty background sky, Loll! I love the color combination - adding Magenta to Blue & Green is so effective! Both kinds of snowfall (embossing paste and acrylic paint) are pretty, and the tree window die works like a magic! Hideko xx p.s. Perfect backdrop too. ;-D
What beautiful colours in the sky! Love the embossed, stenciled background too! Isn't that die just the best?
Easy peasy maybe Loll, but absolutely stunning with it!
