Hey there! I guess you could say I'm on a "tree kick" right now. First I played with Serene Silhouettes and Lovely as a Tree, and today I played with a carryover list set, Evergreen!
I paired Midnight Muse cardstock with a Basic Gray mat layer (bet you thought it was Brushed Silver, didn't ya?) and Silver Encore Metallic ink from the Holiday Catalog.
Evergreen is so gorgeous! I stamped the solid trees on each side first, then breathed on the stamp again without re-inking to get the second and third stampings of the trees to give the illusion of depth and distance between the trees. The silver ink worked perfect with this simple technique!
The fine detail of the "Silent Night" tree stamp is just incredible:
Sometimes silver ink can be a bit gloppy, which I was afraid of with the tiny script of this stamp, but NO PROBLEM!!!
Inside I used the remaining two stamps in the set (this card is stamped ENTIRELY with the Evergreen stamp set) with Midnight Muse ink on the Whisper White layer, breathing on the stamp again to get several stampings from one inking.
That's all for now! It's "Friends & Family Day" at church this Sunday, which means I need to throw a lasagna in the oven to take for the "dinner-on-the-grounds"!

What stamp did you use for the Silent Night Yree?
A retired Stampin’ Up! set called Evergreen. Hope this helps, Sue!
This card is absolutely elegant and so beautiful. I love it. Thank you for sharing your talents. I pulled out this old stamp today and will attempt to create the beautiful card that you did.
Stay safe.
You’re welcome, Rosemarie! Have fun playing!
