Happy Monday morning, stampers! Today I'm bringing you a card that I CASEd from Sam Hammond Donald, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the UK. You can see Sam's original design at #1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles – Welcoming Woods Sneak Peek Simple Card Idea.

Assembly
Unless otherwise indicated, Stampin' Seal used throughout.
1. Fold 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4" score line to create card base.
2. Adhere 5-1/4" x 4" Night of Navy card stock to card front.
3. Use Blending Brushes to apply Night of Navy ink to top portion of 5" x 3-3/4" white card stock; repeat with Misty Moonlight ink, applying ink over and below Night of Navy; repeat with Highland Heather ink, applying ink over other colors and extending below.
4. Use Black ink to stamp trees image over blended colors. NOTE: You will need to stamp the design twice to cover entire piece of paper.
5. Use Black ink to stamp horizontal image. NOTE: The image to the left was stamped a little higher than the one to the right.
6. OPTIONAL: Once ink is completely dry, splatter some Wink of Stella glitter over image to create the illusion of snow falling. It's kind of hard to see it on the photo, but if you click on the image to take a closer look, you should be able to see some of the glitter here and there.
7. Adhere 5" x 3-3/4" stamped white card stock to card front over Night of Navy card stock.
8. Adhere 2-5/8" x 1-1/8" Night of Navy card stock to 2-3/4" x 1-1/4" Highland Heather card stock. Use Black ink to stamp sentiment on 2-1/2" x 1" white card stock; use Blending Brush to apply small amount of Night of Navy ink near top of label. Adhere sentiment over Night of Navy card stock, and then attach to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

| Apologies for poor quality of photo -- I'm blaming it on lighting. It's actually WHITE card stock; not Vanilla! |
9. Adhere second piece of 5-1/4" x 4" Night of Navy card stock to inside of card.
10. Use Night of Navy and Highlands Heather ink to stamp snowflakes on second piece of 5 x 3-3/4" white card stock. Adhere over Night of Navy card stock. NOTE: To achieve the pale shade for the snowflakes, I stamped the image on scrap paper several times without reinking before stamping on card stock. This technique is called "stamping off."
That's it! A fairly simple card, but with striking results! I hope you enjoy it.
Cathy ;D
