Die cutting "Merry" in gold brought out the fine lines of gold in the patterned paper.

To Finish the Bow...


I adhered the holly sticker to a piece of white cardstock and fussy cut it. This gave the sticker more weight and allowed me to use Glossy Accents to stick the embellishment to the ribbon bow.

Using Two Images


I stamped and heat embossing two images with white embossing powder on white paper. Subsequently, I coloured the images with Distress Ink. The leaves were coloured with a Distress Marker. One whole image was used for the base and parts of the second image were cut and adhered directly on top of the first image.

Creating an Embellishment with a Sticker


I adhered the gift sticker to a piece of cardstock and then cut it out to give the image the weight of an embellishment.

Faux Paneling


I created this background paper by first scoring it ever half inch. Then I put a piece of Fun Foam in my Woodgrain embossing folder to create a woodgrain stamp. I inked the foam with Distress Ink and then carefully laid the cardstock on the inked surface.
