Eat Drink and Be Merry

I had a rush to finish all my Christmas cards last year, so am determined to make more during the year so the same doesn't happen this December.  This card uses a lovely Clearly Besotted 'Christmas Pudding' stamp and die set - perfect for the current ABC Christmas Challenge 'Y for Yummy'.

To make this card I used:
     4" x 4" white linen card blank
     Clearly Besotted 'Christmas Pudding' stamp and coordinating die set
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' die
     Versafine Vintage Sepia and Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Red Copic
     Diamond Stickles
     Glossy Accents

     Snippet of white matt card

I used brown ink to stamp the Christmas pudding onto a snippet of white card and used green ink to stamp the holly.  I embossed them with clear embossing powder before cutting them with the coordinating dies.  I embossed a stitched square in the centre of the card before placing the card blank into my MISTI.  I laid the pudding in the middle of the stitched square so I could see where to place the sentiment.  I removed the pudding and stamped the sentiment with brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I attached the pudding with a foam pad and applied Diamond Stickles to the top.  The holly berries were coloured with a red Copic and then highlighted with Glossy Accents before being attached to the top of the pudding.
