Today’s project began with the wonderful Christmas tree from the Winter Woods stamp set. I wanted to stamp it directly on a piece of Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper. So, I used my Stamparatus, making it easy to stamp two colors of ink, as well as VersaMark.

Winter Woods Christmas Tree

 

Once the Frosted Floral DSP was positioned, I inked the Christmas tree stamp with Tranquil Tide ink, and pressed it to the DSP. Next, I cleaned the stamp (leaving it on the Stamparatus) and inked the stamp with Mint Macaron, pressing and cleaning as I did the first time. Then, I used the VersaMark in the same manner as the inks, and my tree was ready to be sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder. After setting the powder with the Heat Tool, my Christmas tree had a fabulous shine.

I layered my art piece on Tranquil Tide cardstock to match the card base, which I layered on Mint Macaron cardstock. The Subtle Textured embossing made the Mint Macaron cardstock come to life.

 

 

“Christmas” was stamped in Tranquil Tide Ink on a piece of the same Frosted Floral DSP.  I used a label die from the Merry Christmas die set for cutting, and rolled it through the Big Shot with the Subtle Textured embossing folder. It looks like a piece of fabric, doesn’t it? It even felt soft, so I layered it, making it sturdy on the dimensionals.

For additional shine, I used Sparkle Glimmer Paper to cut the word “Merry.” “Merry” is from the Merry Christmas die set. The Sparkle Glimmer Paper was also used for the three pine sprigs from the Night Owl die set.

For the last bit of sparkle,  I sprinkled my card with Iridescent Sequins. They aren’t in my Product List, but they are item #144212, if you want to add them to your collection.

 

The layout for today’s card was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
