Heat Embossing and Ink Blending Technique Featuring Winter Woods....

Today's card features the Winter Woods stamp set found on page 55 of the Occasions Catalog.  Also used the wood slice image from the Rooted In Nature bundle found on page 143 of the Annual Catalog. 

Here are close up looks at the stamp sets: 

And here is a closeup look at the detail in that wood slice stamp: 

I stamped the trees in Versamark ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  Next I grabbed a sponge and got busy with some ink blending. 

I stamped the wood slice and fussy cut it since there was no coordinating die.  Then I stamped a greeting in Versamark and heat embossed it as well. 

A bit of ribbon and a few dimensionals for the greeting and this card was done in a jiffy!
