My 1st time to use my new stamp sets from the fabulous SU Holiday Mini that will be out on Sept. 1st. I love the Demonstrator benefit of being able to preorder a month ahead so we can get samples made up.
I inked the "Christmas Collage" background stamp in Cherry Cobbler and stamped on Confetti Cream CS. I always ink my BG stamps with the ink pad and then add more ink with my brayer. With inked stamp upright I lay my cut cardstock on top of inked image and rub the piece of cardstock. This gives a good image everytime. Hope this makes sense.
I then used the new "Bells & Boughs" and "Tags Til Christmas" stamp sets. I also used the new Extra Large Decorative Label Punch and the Champagne #gold# Glass Glitter on my card. Lots of fun new toys. I do not have my Cherry Cobbler marker yet so I watercolored the Joy, 25 and berries with my blender pen and ink pad. I wanted the colors to be brighter than after I stamped the BG stamp. The holly was stamped with the Bells & Boughs holly #same as in BG stamp# and then cut out and added to the BG image. The curly label image and sentiment were from the Tags Til Christmas and Bells and Boughs sets.
After cutting the image to fit an A2 card I sponged the edges first with Crumb Cake and then with Cherry Cobbler using sponge daubers.
Hope you like the results as much as I do....TFL
