This card and my previous card for the A Blog Named Hero nature challenge were inspired by the mountain view right out my front door. Of course both times I was busy getting kids to school so I didn’t get a picture but I remembered the beauty of the pink sunrise.
To create this rather simple card, I began by blending reactive ink into 2/3 of the white Bristol cardstock measuring 4 1/4×5 1/2″. I then stamped the mountains on neenah cardstock. I cut the cardstock to four 4 1/4×5 1/2″. I placed to panel and the base layer of the mountain in the Misti stamping tool. I stamped it once and rotated the cardstock 180 degrees and stamped again. I stamped eight mountains total. I only have three gray inks so I used each color several times. I then repeated this for the detail layer except on the last two I stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I die cut all eight mountains and cut the excess cardstock from the bottom. I arranged the mountains with the heat embossed images at the back to represent the taller snow covered mountains. I used glad cling wrap to pick up all the images at once and added foam tape to only the far back images. Before adhering anything to the background I stamped and heat embossed the large “smile” word then stamped the other words in the same pink reactive ink as the background. I placed the mountains, added some liquid adhesive where necessary to the front ones and cut off any overhanging pieces.
I hope you like this card and will visit A Blog Named Hero for a new challenge starting soon. You should also visit and follow the A Blog Named Hero Facebook Page.
