Winter Wonderland - Winter tree stamps A5

A stamp sheet on the theme of winter trees including 4 trees, 2 branches and 4 words.

Each tree stamp is a different shape and size to showcase a small forest on your holiday cards.

For the example card I started by creating a post-it paper cover to represent the moon and another for the horizon. I then applied inks in orange tones with a ink brushe in the upper part of the card. For the bottom of the card I used inks in the tones green, gray, purple always applied with the brush. I made some spots with a brush and ink in the same tones. To finish I removed the moon cover and applied the yellow ink in the center and overflowing a little for a nice fade.

Next comes the buffering stage. The animals first of the mini reindeer board then the trees. Think of positioning them on different levels to give depth to the landscape. The trees in the background are first stamped on plain paper and then re-stamped on the card to get a lighter effect.

Now it's time to tackle the shadows, you can with a torn post-it note create mounds on the ground by applying darker ink or you can create the mounds with watercolor paint. Also consider adding shadows to the feet of the animals and trees.
