Whatever you choose, these stamps are designed to bring out the artist in you. Color them with your preferred mediums—whether it’s watercolors for a soft, dreamy look or Stampin’ Blend Markers for bold, vibrant detail.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Soft Sea Foam cardstock in half to create your base card. Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper to the front of the card.
- Using the 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the tree trunk on the bottom left of the cardstock using Black Memento ink. Build up the tree trunk using the “trunk extender” image using the same ink. Add the branch onto the tree as desired using the same ink. Repeat the process on the right side of the card (see sample for placement.)
- Using the Black Memento ink pad, stamp the porcupine into the “knot” of each tree. Color in the porcupines using the Light Gray Granite Blend. Color in the knot of each tree using the Dark Copper Clay Blend, being careful to avoid the porcupine. Color in the remaining part of the trees using the Copper Clay Blends.
- Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock onto the center of the card base.
- Using the 1/2″ strips of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, stamp a sentiment on each one using the Copper Clay ink pad. Adhere to the trees as shown in the sample using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
