Card Art by Helen

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut Old Olive cardstock to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side.
2. Randomly stamp Santa, stocking, tree, and gift images onto card front with Old Olive ink.
3. Stamp three gift images on scrap Whisper White cardstock with Old Olive ink. Use a Sponge Dauber to sponge a bit of Old Olive ink onto each gift. Die cut with coordinating Jolly Season die.
4. Adhere two 4-3/4" pieces of Burlap Ribbon across card front with Glue Dots.
5. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to layer 3" x 3" Whisper White cardstock over ribbon tilted slightly left.
6. Use a Sponge Brayer to create an ombre effect with Cherry Cobbler and Real Red ink. Start by braying Real Red ink onto the bottom of a 3" x 3" piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock. Add ink from the bottom to a bit past half making it darker as it goes up. Add Cherry Cobbler ink to the top edge with a Sponge Brayer. Add ink making it lighter as it goes away from the top edge to create a dark to light gradient effect.
7. Place the "Tis the Season" die at the top of the brayered cardstock and the "to be Jolly" die below it. Die cut to create a multicoloured greeting.
8. Adhere die cut greetings to 3" x 3" Vellum Cardstock with Glue Dots.
9. Place Glue Dots on the back of the Vellum behind where the greeting is so that the Glue Dots don't show through. Adhere to the Whisper White square on the card at a slight tilt to the right.
10. Add the three die cut gifts around the edge of the greeting . Tuck a couple under the edge of the greeting layers.
11. Add Old Olive Rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones grouped at the bottom left and top right of the card.
