Holly Jolly Christmas, how to make it:
Press the two green ink pads on to the craft sheet. Mist with water, then brayer the color onto a piece of white cardstock.
Roll the brayer across the embossing inkpad, then across the brayered piece. Cover with clear powder and heat set.
Make a watery wash of black, then use the paintbrush to spatter the ink onto the white cardstock.
Let dry, then mat on green cardstock. Cut a strip of sheet music and glue to the front of the blank card. Wrap the brayered piece with twine, then use foam tape to adhere to the card front.
Paint a light application of white onto the sheet music to mute the pattern but not completely cover it. Let dry, then use black ink to stamp the poinsettias: one large and three small. Immediately cover with clear gloss embossing powder. Tap off the excess and heat set. Cut out the flowers.
Make a watery wash of red ink, then paint a flower. Dip the flower into clear gloss embossing powder and tap off the excess, then heat set. Repeat to color and emboss all the flowers. Tip: use the tweezers to hold the flowers while you heat set.
Stamp the sentiment with black onto white cardstock, then die cut into an oval. Assemble the flowers and the oval together on the card front, adhering them with foam tape. Add rhinestones to the flower centers.
