Team Scrimpy's Team Blog Hop

The theme of this months hop is Christmas so I knew exactly what I wanted to use to create my project x 

I used the Stylish Christmas Stamp Set so elegant and pretty

So to make this card I cut my Mossy Meadow Cardstock down to 21cm x 14.8cm

and scored on the long side at 10.5cm and this gives you a perfect A6 cardstock

I then cut some gold foil down to 14.3cm x 10cm

I then cut a layer of whisper white down to 13.8cm x 9.5cm

This is going to be stamped

I then took some Mossy Meadow and cut it at 13.8cm x 6.3cm

then some Whisper White and cut that to 13.8cm x 5.3cm

I took my larger whisper white layer and started to stamp a gorgeous background using the Holly stamp, I just added the stamp randomly using Mossy Meadow Ink Pad, I then took a pencil with an old eraser like below

I then took my Merry Merlot inkpad and using the eraser I added the "berrys" for the holly such a quick and simple trick that works perfectly.

I then stamped the poinsettia twice and fussy cut them out ( they are super simple to fussy cut)

I used a large ball tool ( stylus) and shaped the poinsettias and layered them up and added 3 blobs of gold Stickles to the flower center easy to change to rhinestones if you wish.

I layered up the mossy meadow and Whisper white layers the thinner panels and 

then wrapped gold thread around it, and then made a small figure of 8 bow made from wrapping around my fingers and then I added some glue dots to make it sit where I wanted it.

next up is the sentiment that I made using Versamark and Gold Embossing powder, I trimmed the cardstock down to the sentiment and then layered it on Gold Foil 

and again trimmed it to just give me a thin border.

Last up I added a layer of white linen paper inside to allow the sender an area to write on x 

I hope you enjoy this tutorial
