I used my stitched square die to emboss a square in the centre of the card blank. I stamped the pudding in brown ink and the leaves in green ink before embossing them with clear embossing powder. Although there was a separate stamp and die for the holly berries I chose to colour them with Promarkers and add a Wink of Stella. I also added a a good layer of Wink of Stella to the top of the pudding so it shimmered. The pudding and holly were then attached to the centre of the card with foam pads.
To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
Clearly Besotted 'Christmas Pudding' stamps and dies, Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' die
Versafine Vintage Sepia and Olympia Green ink
Stampendous clear embossing powder
Red Promarker
Wink of Stella
