Step-By-Step Instructions
- Fold the Cherry Cobbler cardstock at the 3-1/4" score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 3/4" strip of Painterly Pears Designer Paper to the inside left of the card base.
- Adhere the 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock on the inside left of the card base.
- Using the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the focal image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Color in the image using the Pecan Pie Blends, the Old Olive Blends, the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend, the Dark Daffodil Delight Blend, and the Dark Gray Granite Blend. Optional: use the Color Lifter to remove some of the color where needed to create more shading.
- Adhere the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock onto the 3" x 5-1/4" piece of Painterly Pears Paper; adhere to front flap of the card.
- Add Wink of Stella to the Tree, the berries, and the candle flame if desired.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1-5/8" x 2-3/8" piece of Basic White cardstock; use scissors to "banner notch" the right side of the cardstock. If using another sentiment, size your Basic White cardstock accordingly.
- To finish, adhere the left side only of the sentiment banner to the front flap of the card, being careful to not extend the glue line past where the banner sits on the front flap (so you don't glue your card shut.)
