Woodland Treehouse - April Showers by Nina

 Hello Ai fans, Nina here with a new cute tag addition to my tag journal that has been going on for a while now :) Today I am using one of Ai cutest Cubbies, Woodland Tree Cubbie Set and the Stitched Tag die set.



This project was part of Ai challenge April Showers where we add rain or clouds, so I decided to create a cute treehouse among the clouds for these cute critters.


I started with stamping the treehouse and the birds on white paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti. I stamped the leaves clusters multiple times to decorate my tree with them. I them colored them with Copic Markers.

Copic Shades:

House:  RV37 RV34 RV32

Windows: BG32 BG34

Doors: YR00 YR01 R11 (dark shadow areas line of YR02)

Tree: E25 E29 E27 E25

Leaves: YG17 YG25 YG23

I then cut all the images and backed them with foam tape to give them dimension.

To create the tag background, I die cut the tag using the biggest tag in Stitched tag die set and ink blended two blue shades from Distress inks; Tumbled Glass & Speckled Egg. and splashed some more diluted ink to give some visual texture.


I cut the tag again from white paper and cut it at multipe levels with a cloud border to create the clouds around the treehouse.

I then glued some of the clouds directly on the tag then attached my tree house on top and then I used double layers foam tape behind the rest of the clouds and placed them on top of my treehouse for extra dimension.


Started them gluing the birds and the leaves. then attached my tag to the metal ring of my Tag Journal.

Very cute tag. I like the idea of using the Stitched Clouds to add dimension to the tag.
