Welcome to Week 19 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Sharon Davern.
This week I thought it was well and truly time to ink up the Festive Foliage stamp. Festive Foliage is one big stamp and is actually in the Annual Catalogue and not the mini.
I started by stamping the image in Versamark on Vellum and then embossing it with Gold embossing powder. I then started colouring the image using Stampin Blends in Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. I'm not really sure what i had hoped to achieve but I then mounted the coloured Vellum on Shimmery White as it's not actually seen through the Vellum. Oh well.
I then mounted the Shimmery White cardstock on some Cherry Cobbler cardstock but not before wrapping some of the Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon around the panel. The sentiment which has also been embossed in gold is from Holly Jolly Wishes and once stamped and embossed has been die cut using one of the Hippo and Friends dies. Finally a bow using the same ribbon and a few Gilded Gems. I have actually placed these in the corners to cover where I had adhered the vellum to the cardstock using glue.
