CHRISTMAS IN THE GARDEN

Welcome to you.  I remember saying that one could use the Eden’s Garden stamp set for a Christmas card, so I made one!

I stamped the focal image using Tuxedo Black, and then added the colour with Stampin’ Blends.  The black ink leaves lighter areas with this stamp so it was fairly easy to add the colours.  Just remember to use the alcohol markers!  The Stampin’ Write markers are good for “direct to stamp” but the colours would end up looking muddy if you used them over the Tuxedo Black ink.

That pretty circle was already sitting on my table, so I used it as the background for the extra leaves.  Then, after fussy-cutting, layered the larger image over top.

The perfect greeting came from the Snow Wonder stamp set(153344) and it seemed only fitting to use Gold Emboss Powder to set it off.

Here’s the list of products used.
