And I love dark green tones even more. As I continue my 2021-2023 In Color exploration, we are moving on to a beautiful shade. In fact, Evening Evergreen is so dark, I think it could be considered a neutral color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this card, I am pairing Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry with Evening Evergreen. And what a challenge this color combo was for me! I didn&#8217;t know if I could pull off two strong green tones on the same card&#8230;but in the end it all worked out quite nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Something Perfectly Plaid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I first thought about what type of card I would make with these colors, plaid instantly came to my mind. I could picture this color combo on a Scottish tartan! And, I also wanted to create something with Christmas trees to represent the great greens. I pulled out some supplies&#8230;and instead of a hit, I had a couple of misses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paper weaving wasn&#8217;t quite what I was looking for. But I did have fun playing with strips of Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry. Since I didn&#8217;t adhere my paper strips, I can save them for another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_163136.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry Cardstock, woven together\" class=\"wp-image-2732\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/regals-6-x-6-(15-2-x-15-2-cm)-designer-series-paper?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Designer Series Assortments<\/a> that Stampin&#8217; Up! offers in their color families. This paper makes it so simple for me to coordinate to my ink and cardstock. However, after I punched a few trees with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/punch-pine-tree?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pine Tree Punch<\/a>, I knew I wasn&#8217;t headed in this direction either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"822\" width=\"800\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155553-997x1024.jpg?resize=800%2C822&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Family Color Designer Series Paper punched with the Pine Tree Punch.\" class=\"wp-image-2734\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/perfectly-plaid-photopolymer-stamp-set-(english)?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perfectly Plaid Stamp Se<\/a>t features a variety of pine tree stamps that coordinate with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/punch-pine-tree?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pine Tree Punch<\/a>. In fact, there are 3 different tree stamps. Since I wanted to create a tree for each color of my combo, this was perfect. I just needed to decide which tree and which color belonged together artistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realistic Pine Tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wanted to use the stamp that looks most like a real pine with Shaded Spruce. This brighter dark green is even named for a type of pine! But when I went to stamp my image, the color was over-saturated and resulted in a blurry image. This comes from too much ink on the surface of the ink pad (also known as a juicy ink pad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a quick fix for this exact situation! All it takes is a plastic spoon. I use the back of the spoon and &#8220;frost&#8221; the ink down into the foam pad, away from the surface. When I am done, I simply clean the spoon off with a baby wipe and set the spoon aside until I need it again for another juicy ink pad. After I re-stamped my image, the quality is so much better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"798\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?resize=800%2C798&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pushing ink back into the ink pad with a plastic spoon for better stamped images on the tree stamp from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set.\" class=\"wp-image-2735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?resize=1024%2C1022&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?resize=768%2C767&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155110.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fill In Fir Tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just knew a pine tree made up of only Crushed Curry would look odd. But the fill in fir tree was a perfect solution for my green and yellow combination. I stamped the tree image in Evening Evergreen Ink first. Next, I stamped the &#8220;fill in&#8221; with Crushed Curry Ink. This is also known as Two-Step Stamping. I find the photpolymer stamps so useful when lining up images!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"806\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?resize=800%2C806&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Two-step stamping with the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.\" class=\"wp-image-2737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?resize=1016%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1016w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?resize=298%2C300&amp;ssl=1 298w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?resize=768%2C774&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_155345.jpg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plaid Pine Tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, I saved the best for last.

The images in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/perfectly-plaid-photopolymer-stamp-set-(english)?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set<\/a> were a little too big. Instead, I settled on a very simple word &#8220;merry&#8221; chosen from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/time-of-giving-cling-stamp-set-(english)?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Time Of Giving Stamp Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stamped my sentiment in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/versamark-pad?demoid=2116612\">Versamark Ink<\/a> on a strip of Evening Evergreen Cardstock. After adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/basics-stampin-emboss-powders?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White Embossing Powder<\/a>, I heat set the word with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/heat-tool?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heat Tool<\/a>. I think you will agree that the white sentiment really pops, and coordinates with the white outlines of my tree images on this card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Heat embossing a sentiment.\" class=\"wp-image-2742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_162938.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting It All  Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you remember earlier when I tried my hand at weaving cardstock strips in Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry? And how I played with the family assortment of Designer Series Paper? When I combined those concepts with my Christmas tree theme, I had a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I selected different designer styles of paper using my color combo, and adhered them to a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock. Next, I layered on my ink-sponged cardstock strips. By adding like color ink to the edges of my cardstock, I was able to sharpen the contrast of colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_163846.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sponging the edges of cardstock.\" class=\"wp-image-2745\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With my focus on Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry, I was able to keep my card true to the chosen colors. I kept the Crushed Curry designer paper and cardstock together, but swapped the same color placement on the Evening Evergreen and Shaded Spruce designer paper and cardstock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themainestamper.com\/staging\/5082\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210910_165236.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2744\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Triangles, Trees And Trinkets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, it was easy to add on the last elements in a layering fashion. First, I added the stitched triangle die cuts, alternating the orientation. After that, I place the stamped and punched trees over the triangles. To finish off my card, I added three gold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/brushed-metallic-adhesive-backed-dots?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots<\/a>, using my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stampinup.com\/products\/take-your-pick?demoid=2116612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Your Pick Tool<\/a>.
