Project Recipe
Cut Whisper White thick card stock 5.5 x 8.5, score at 4.25 and fold to make a side fold A2 greeting card.
Cut Shaded Spruce card stock 4 x 5.25 and attach to card front
Cut Whisper White regular 3.75 x 5, stamp the smaller holly image outline with Shaded Spruce ink at the top and bottom of this piece,
Stamp the fill using Shaded Spruce ink stamped off once
For the berries you have several options. I used Holiday Rhinestones for the berries but you could also color them with a Real Red marker and add some Wink of Stella to add some shine OR if you have regular clear Rhinestones in the 3mm size you can color them with the Real Red dark blends pens as these inks dry permanent on non porous surfaces and then use those for the berries.
Cut a piece of your desired designer series paper, for my card I used Wrapped In Plaid,
1 x 3.75, attach across the center between the two holly images
Use the Postage Stamp punch to punch one tag from Whisper White.
After rubbing it with an embossing buddy, use a Sponge Dauber to ink the edges with Versamark ink then dip the edges into Gold Embossing Powder. If the gold line on the edge is too thick or uneven just use a small paint brush to gently brush loose some the powder and tap it off. Then heat set the powder.
Stamp the sentiment with Shaded Spruce in and attach to the front with dimensionals.
I stamped the inside of the card with the holly and berries from Poinsettia Petals stamp set but this is optional The berries are stamped with Real Red and the holly with Shaded Spruce
I also stamped the envelope as seen in the opening photo.
