Merry & Bright Christmas Card

To stamp a large amount of elements repeadtedly, position the foliage stamps in a group on a stamping platform. Stamp them all together, using Acorn ink, onto mixed-media cardstock, then copper heat-emboss. Repeat three times to have a good selection of images to work with.

Use the waterbrush to activate the colours on the paint palette and pain in the images. For speed, colour each of the same image at the same time, such as all of the holly, then pine cones, and so on. Cut out each image.

Create a 17.5cm circle card blank using circles of white and purple cardstock, affixing them with a hinge at the top. Trim a silver from the bottom of the back panel.

Die-cut a 15.5cm circle of mixed-media cardstock and active the gold paint to be able to tap splats all over it. Allow to dry then affix to the card front.

Using scissors, separate the words on the sentiment stamp. Line them up on a stamping platform and stamp onto a 7.5cm circle of turquoise cardstock using clear ink. White heat-emboss and affix to the card front using 3D foam pads. Do not position them right up to the edge, but leave 1cm - 2cm border.

Arrange the foliage around the card front using 3D foam pads and tucking the ends in beneath the turquoise circle. Ensure nothing sticks out of the bottom of the card front. Add sequins to finish.
