nstructions:
- Using the largest circle die from the Layering Circles Thinlits and the Big Shot, cut the circle from the piece of Whisper White CS.
- Lay the Whisper White CS over the wood grain DSP so there is an even edge showing top, right side and bottom. Stamp the baubles using Gray Granite ink inside the circle. Tip: clean this stamp now as we’re using it again soon.
- Stamp the “deck the halls” stamp on the Whisper White CS in the centre underneath the circle using Blackberry Bliss ink.
- Use Liquid Glue to adhere the
wood grain DSP to the Gray Granite card base. Then use the same glue to add the star DSP; this one goes right to the left hand edge and from top to bottom with no edge showing from underneath. Lastly, glue on the Whisper White CS layer.
- Take the Blackberry Bliss piece
of CS and rub with the Embossing Buddy to remove the static from the paper. Stamp the group of baubles again this time using VersaMark. Cover the wet VersaMark with Silver Embossing Powder and tap off any excess. Tip: I carefully tap off the powder on the back of the CS and then add more for better coverage.
- Use the Heat Tool to set the embossing powder.
- Use the matching framelit to run through the Big Shot and cut out the baubles. I decided to put Mini Dimensionals under just 2 of the baubles; the others I used Liquid
Glue to stick them over top of the stamped ones.
- Wrap the Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon around the card front and tie a nice bow near the top.
I find the colour combination of Blackberry Bliss and Gray Granite quite refreshing for Christmas. The Blackberry lends a regal air and the coastal look of the wood grain keeps it grounded for a relaxed feel.
