This is for LSC185. I got this brand new 3 step Kitchen Sink set called Holly & Mistletoe and thought it would be fun to try three step stamping for my technique. I love the effect you get using the three different colors of ink to build and layer the images. The bow is also created with the 3 steps and cut out to pop up on the holly. I used a Martha Stewart paper punch to create the popped up evergreen around the bow. I ran all three colors of pink and red directly across watercolor paper to create the paper ribbon across the two corners. This was a fun and simple technique that creates a wonderful outcome.

This is just beautiful, Kittie! Are you sure this is the right gallery? I think you might belong in LSC185. It's funny because if so, you posted in the thread right in front of me and you would have been in the gallery right next to me again.
