Thank you for joining me on Friday on my YouTube channel to see 3 ways I used the Frosted Pinecones bundle to make beautiful winter theme cards! Today I am sharing the card I created using the masks, blending brushed and extra die cut pine sprig pieces.

Frosted Pinecones Ink Blending Combos

I tried out several different combos of Stampin’ Up! ink with my Blending Brushes and the Frosted Pinecones masks.. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer/color combo. I hope you are inspired to try out one of these or one of your own!

A brown ink stamped image of a pinecone with pine needles sits on a white background. Above it, a yellow sticky note lists the Stampin’ Up ink colors used: Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake for each layer of the design. A watermark for Patty Bennett appears on the left.

The masks are numbered in the corner, but I also like to write the number with a permanent marker so it’s easier for me to see.

A yellow sticky note lists ink colors for a pinecone stencil set, reading: Stamp: Pecan Pie, mask #2: Golden Glow, mask #1: Golden Glow, mask #3: Pecan Pie, mask #5: Pecan Pie. Below it, a white card shows an ornate, brown-ink stamped pinecone illustration with needles. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I loved sharing so many tips during our weekly live video, and I hope you enjoyed learning something about the Frosted Pinecones bundle! Did you enjoy the “frosted” idea featuring the Shimmer Paste? I’m including the replay below on this blog post!

I used the back side of one of the patterns from the Floral Charm paper for the card background layer and for the die cut pine sprigs. I also used the gold metallic paper for some sprigs. I like how these 2 sprigs coordinate with the colors of ink I used to blend with the masks.

Be sure to watch the video for all the details (replay below), and for those who love a good visual, here is my process for stamping the pinecone stamp in Pecan Pie and Peaceful Pine and combining them after coloring them with blending brushes and ink. I cut out the pecan pie cone image and layered it over the Peaceful Pine image, then used the die to cut the whole image out.

Be sure to check out the option to add additional pine needle sprigs between the 2 layers for additional dimension.
