Cut white cardstock to 5" square, ink up the brayer with Speckled Egg ink, roll across the top left corner a few times, then ink up with Lucky Clover for the next corner and repeat. Do the same thing on the two remaining corners but ink up with Cracked Pistachio, then Evergreen Bough.

2

Use Library Green ink to stamp the Christmas tree into opposite corners, then stamp the fair branch cross the remaining corners using first - and second - generation stamping for interest and depth.

3

Press Pine Needles ink onto a craft mat and use a damp paint brush to paint the Christmas trees.

4

Use Jet Black ink to stamp the cat into the centre and the sentiment above the cat, add shading to the cat using a black pastel pencil, then add grey shading under the paws. Matt onto raspberry pink cardstock and adhere to the card base using 3D foam pads.

5

Add Nuvo Drops to each of the baubles, add some smaller dots in between, then tap the card onto a hard surface to help flatten the dots a little to finish.
