The Gift of Christmas

Hi Bloggers.

As the title suggests, I have a Christmas Card to share with you today -

For the background, I first stamped the reindeer from the Justrite Holiday Magic Clear Stamp Set using Fired Brick Distress Ink. I then stamped the 'STOP HERE' sentiment from the same stamp set using Festive Berries Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Holiday Magic M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Fired Brick.

I stamped the stocking from the Justrite Christmas Gifts Vintage Labels Two Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Berry Red Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it ut using Justrite Vintage Labels Two Dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Gifts Stamp Set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Berry Red Aurora. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I tied a bow using Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Red Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding an Idea-ology Christmas Noel Adornment, some Cream Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.
