Mount the Buffalo background stamp onto the larges acrylic block. Turn it so the stamp is face up. Ink the stamp with Crumb Cake ink by turning the ink pad upside down and tapping it all over the background stamp.
Fold and burnish the Crumb Cake card base. Place the front of the card face down on the inked background stamp. Cover with a piece of scrap paper. Rub the scrap paper without moving it to press the paper into the stamp.
Lift the card off the stamp carefully by an edge.
Take the smaller panel of Very Vanilla and place it on the Stampn' Pierce Matt. Ink the pond stamp in Seaside Spray and stamp it on the bottom left so that it goes over the edge.
Stamp the mountain in Smoky Slate in the top left corner
Stamp the path in Smoky Slate slightly above the pond.
Stamp the cabin in soft suede so that it sits at the top of the path.
Stamp the cluster of tree trunks in Early Expresso to the left of the cabin at roof level. Stamp larger trunk and branches onto the right with the bottom of the trunk slightly off the edge of the paper on bottom right side.
Stamp small spruces in between the trunks at left. Do not reink between first and second stamp generation (stamp off for trees in back). Use the bigger spruce stamp for a tree beside the right of the house and part of the top in the foreground.
Add hill in Smoky Slate under cluster of trees at cabin's left and above cabin to add mountain foothills.
Add above pond in Crumb Cake. Stamp dots in and around branches in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie for fall leaves.
