Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Have you ever seen a Christmas tree with a bear at the bottom and a little red bird at the top? That’s what made me smile when I first saw the Woodland Wishes Stamp Set! Today I’m sharing a Christmas card featuring this stack of woodland friends, along with the replay of my Facebook LIVE so you can follow along as I color with Stampin’ Blends.

The Woodland Wishes Stamp Set brings a little woodland cheer to your holiday card making. Pair the bear, deer, fox, and bird images with a seasonal sentiment, or stamp the whole tree of animals for a whimsical focal point. The line art gives you plenty of room to play with color and coordinate the animals with the cardstock and embellishments you’re using.

For my card, I kept the colors simple. A little red on the cardinal and ornaments draws your eye up the tree, while soft greens and browns give it that woodland feel. I left some of the animals white so the small pops of color could stand out. The embossed swirls and stars add texture behind the animals, and a bit of green twine peeks out from behind the Merry Christmas banner.

In the Facebook LIVE replay below, I’ll walk you through coloring the stamped image with Stampin’ Blends. You’ll see where I add color, where I leave a little white space, and how those choices come together on the finished card. Grab a cup of coffee and come enjoy a little creative escape with me!

I hope you’ll give Woodland Wishes a try and see how different this little tree can look with your favorite holiday colors. After you watch, tell me in the comments which woodland friend you’d color first. I think that little cardinal would get my vote!

Thanks for stopping by ….

Happy stamping! Linda
