Bold and beautiful Christmas wishes

Hopefully you have already heard my exciting news,
seen my cards in THIS post and
entered for your chance to win on The Stencil Specialist Blog HOP.

This card uses the Stampendous Pine Ornaments Cling Rubber Stamp,
Winnie & Walter bow die and Cottage Cutz spruce stems.

I measured the stamp and cut some 3" x 4 1/4" panels to stamp them on.

I aligned the stamp with a panel in my MISTI and started stamping.

I stamped the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (Copic friendly) and zapped it with my heat gun to make sure it was completely dry.  Then came the Copic marker colouring to give the ornaments a pop of colour and dimension.  I used a gold metallic gel pen to colour the top of the ornaments, the round accent on the largest ornament and the accent star bursts & splatters.

I matted the image panel with black cardstock,

giving it a 1/2" border using my Perfect Layers Ruler.

I die cut the dimensional bow (Winnie & Walter) in white cardstock and shaded with red Copic markers to match the ornaments.  I die cut bundles of pine broughs (Cottage Cutz) in black cardstock, then layered them all together with the image panel on the card base.
