How have you enjoyed A Walk in the Forest so far? This pack of Stampin’Up! designer paper is simply delightful with a mixture of playful and wintery designs. On our journey with the bear thus far, you may have noticed that I have done a lot of punching and diecutting, which leaves an awful lot of scraps. Do you ever wonder what happens with those paper scraps?
Today’s design is a perfect example of how scraps can be put to use to create a beautiful card. The bear and tree images I have been highlighting thus far are all diecut/punched from the same sheet of designer paper. This particular sheet of paper also has beautiful groves of smaller evergreen trees and I really loved the look of them because they very much reminded me of the snowy mountains where I’ve been snow skiing. So when I cut the bear and trees for other cards, I carefully cut around the evergreen groves, leaving me some sizable ones to work with.
For this card design, I decided to mimic a scene I’ve seen in one of the Arctic adventure shows my hubby and I like to watch — with the bear looking out from the trees across a frozen river to the other side. I used a sheet of snowflakes from A Walk in the Forest to serve as the frozen river in this scene. I cut a few snowflakes from a sheet of Snowflake Magic designer paper to catch a little silvery sparkle. A few of these snowflakes are on dimensionals to give some depth, along with the bear to bring it to the forefront of the groves of evergreens. With the sentiment panel also on dimensionals, the eye moves easily across the card through each of the key elements.
