ID: DT Oct/13 - CAS - Perfect Pearls Xmas cards

I'm using several Xmas stamps from Quietfire Design   "Textured Holiday Words" "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas", "Merry Christmas Sentiments",

PS the card below shows the Perfect Pearls to a better advantage...

Both cards start of with a side folded 5.5" x 4.25" white cardstock. I taped off a 1/2" border all around (ps if you're doing multiples, just make yourself a stencil for the border from thin cardstock or clear plastic). Stamped the Textured Holiday Word stamp repeatedly using Versamark (can use Perfect Medium or Distress Emboss pad as well). While the stamp pad ink was wet, dusted on Perfect Pearls (Perfect Gold, Rust, Forever Green). Wiped off the excess with a dry paper towel. Removed my tape and drew a border around my stamping. Red Zig marker on one and a Faber Castell Artist Pen "Copper " for the other.

On the first card I stamped the tree/deer image (Memory Box) with Versafine Black Onyx.

On the card at right I stamped the Holly leaf flourish with Versafine "Spanish Moss" and embossed with "Queen's Gold" and some "Olive Leaf" embossing powder.

To create the raised leaves, I stamped them again in black, scanned them, and cut with my electronic cutter, then applied some of the Moss and embossed with the same powders. (PS if you don't have an electronic cutter, you could just hand cut them.

I adhered them to the card so the leaves were raised, (see detail pic below) and added a large red rhinestone.

The sentiment was stamped with the Black and clear embossed.
