I made this card using my new Unity Silhouette Songbird stamp - LOVE this stamp!! It was stamped with a mix of Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany and Versacolor Burgundy ink. Once I layered the image panel onto the dark olive and burgundy cs, I "aged" the edges using a seasponge and Antique Linen ink, then popped the panel up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).
For the side panel, I ran the dark olive cs through my CB using the Holly Berries ef (now essentially hidden by the ribbon.....doh!) and punched the burgundy cs with my Arches Lattice punch.
The holly and berries were diecut with my CB and Bosskut Holly die, then embossed with my Textile ef - they just kinda looked "naked" before I embossed them - like they needed "something". I popped a couple of the berries up on mounts to give them a bit of dimension.
To do the sewing on the bottom panel, I pierced the holes with my paper piercer then hand-sewed it with burgundy sewing thread. The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. The ribbon is from Making Memories: Fa La La set (retired). Lastly, I glued on the 3 tiny green buttons which are from Favorite Findings - Christmas Crafts.
I'm popping this card into two Challenges:
Papertake Weekly Challenge - and this week's theme is "Cut it out". Details and links are on my Blog.
