Framed Evergreen


This simple card is the first of 4 cards using this Stamp set "Evergreen".  Love the simplicity and natural look of this set and the verses!!  This set is meant to be embossed, so we will emboss!!  I used Gumball Green for this card,  a lovely Bright Christmas green!  The card base is stGumball Green card stock.  The Tree image is stamped on a layer of Naturals White Card stock 5 3/8 X 4 1/8  in Gumball Green classic ink.  Dry completely with a heat tool and rub with embossing buddy to prevent embossing powder from sticking to the tree image. 
Next stamp the outline image in Versamark over the solid image.  Add Silver embossing powder and heat with the heat tool.  Cut the In Color Designer Series paper 5 1/4 X 4.  Use the Apothecary Framelit and cut out center.  SAVE your cut out to use on another card!!  Place paper in the Argyle Embossing folder and emboss.  Glue down this layer over your tree, then glue to card base.  I tied a simple knot of Gumball Green Satin stitched ribbon and adhered with a glue dot to the base of the tree.
