I stamped the two large holly leaves, from the Leaves of Holly stamp set, in the upper left and lower right corners. I decided it was easier to line up the images if I stamped the solid image first – in Soft Succulent ink – followed by the more detailed image in Evening Evergreen.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The beautiful Boughs of Holly stamp set used to make a pretty Winter themed card for the Stamping Inkspirations weather related Blog Hop

The berries were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, second generation for the solid and full strength for the detailed image. The sprig from the Christmas To Remember stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Evening Evergreen layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was used to add the panel to the Soft Succulent card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

I inked the same stamp again with the same ink, stamped off once then stamped onto the strip of Basic White card. I repeated this 3 times covering the whole panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

I coloured around each bauble using the light Pool Party Blends Marker and used the colour lifter to fade the colour out. This technique helps to ‘ground’ the baubles.

The stamped panel was then added to the Fresh Freesia layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape and mounted the whole piece on the Night of Navy card front using the same liquid glue.
