I've had the Christmas Collage stamp (from Holiday Mini) for a couple of months and haven't been totally thrilled with anything I've made with it .... until I made this card! I love it and hope you do too!
It wasn't the quickest card to make but that's probably what makes it so special. I stamped two pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock with the whole stamp in Early Espresso. One was used as my card base and the other was cut up - I tore the top corner and cut a rectangle of the song (Silent Night) to use. I sponged all the edges with Espresso. The base piece was adhered to the Always Artichoke card. Then I layered the corner piece with a strip of torn Cherry Cobbler in the right corner. I used my blender pen and squeezed a little ink (Cherry Cobbler & Artichoke) in the lid of my ink pad and colored the holly leaves, berries and poinsetta. I used So Saffron marker for the bell. I punched two holes in the small rectangle Silent Night piece and threaded the Cherry Cobbler seam binding (love it!!) through it and adhered it to the card at an angle. I stamped Merry Christmas from the Bells and Boughs stamp set and adhered it to the card (with dimensional tape).
Here is a close up view of part of the card.
So, what do you think????
