Repeated Stamping and Masking

Hello friends! 

I am sharing a card with the good old-fashioned stamping techniques. 

What intrigued me years ago to stamping? It was the ability to use one single stamp to create a scenery with repeated stamping and masking.

 

Before The Snow

I started out with stamping the tree on the left with Distress Oxide.

 

Then I stamped the one on the right.With the help of MISTI, you can stamp repeatedly with various colors. I always start with the lighter color and gradually work up the darker shades. 

The next part is just slightly tricky.... stamping the middle tree required some masking.
Namely, I covered both trees with two pieces of scrap paper.

Although it does the trick, it was still left with a very defined straight lines with the masking.
I then removed the scrap paper and carefully stamped over the two trees.
This gave the trees a more true and realistic image.

Don't you just love creating a wooded scene with just one stamp?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
