Julie Buhler created a beautiful card last year with this set. I thought it would make a great stamp a stack card. Here is my version of it.

I started out with a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Kraft cardstock. I created a mask out of a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of scrap paper by cutting the center out of it, leaving 3/4″ border all around. I layed that over my Kraft paper and sponged White Craft ink in the center.  The big pine tree from the stamp set Lovely as a Tree was stamped three times in white to the left of the sponged rectangle. I think  I will change that part though. I will either use Snowflakes or the tree row in the background instead, so the tree doesn’t have to be cleaned in between steps.

Next the tree was inked up with Handsome Hunter Classic ink. I added Chocolate Chip over the stem with my marker and stamped it on the right hand side of the rectangle. The sentiment is from All Holidays and is stamped in Chocolate Chip.

The Kraft cardstock was layered on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I paper pierced a border around my white rectangle and added part of a 1″ Chocolate Chip circle to the upper left hand side. In it’s center a Pewter Jumbo Eyelet was set and White Taffeta Ribbon tied through it. Loast these layers were attached to the Handsome Hunter card base with dimensionals.

Again…very simple. Too plain?

Later added, Revised Version:

It’s basically the same as the first post, I just added more white sponging to my rectangle and used the tree row in Whisper White on top of the sponging.

Since Handsome Hunter is so dark, I added a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Kraft cardstock on the inside. Without reinking, I stamped the tree row  on the bottom of the cardstock.
