White Cardstock, black cardstock,  X-Press It Blending Cardstock, Misty,  trimmer, heat tool, red ribbon, glue gun, Copic Markers (Berries - R20, R21, R22, R24, Cardinal - R00, R20, R21, R22, C1, C3 and C5), Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Black Soot Distress Ink, Clear Crackle Paint,  Darice brass plated candle lamp and Christmas Eve SVG

• Cut the lamp from the Christmas Eve SVG file and assemble per the instructions.  Black cardstockwas used for the frame and the designer paper was from the Festive Holly Paper Collection.  Thread a Darice brass planted candle lamp through the SVG frame. the edges of the lamp were sponged with Black Soot Distress Ink to give a vintage look.

• Stamp the holly leaves and cardinal on X-Press it Blending Cardstock Guacamole ink.  Do not be concerned about the berries and cardinal being stamped with a light green.  Green is a complement to red and will appear a light brownish color .   This will add dimension and contour to your image.  The following Copic color combo was used - (Berries - R20, R21, R22, R24, Cardinal - R00, R20, R21, R22, C1, C3 and  C5).   Die cut with the coordinating die. The leaves were gently shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.

• The Classic Rose stamp was stamped on white cardstock using Desert Sand Dye Ink and die cut using the coordinating Classic Rose Die.   For a vintage look, the leaves were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a small amount of Berrylicious Fluid Chalk Ink.  The petals were lightly misted with water and shaped with the Deluxe Flower shaping Kit.   Crackle Paste was applied and sprinkled with Frosting Powder. The petals were heat set.   Emma Lou has a wonderful tutorial on creating roses HERE

• A christmas red ribbon was tied around the street lamp. The holly and cardinal images, and roses were applied  with a glue gun.  Safety Alert - This can be plugged into a light socket but make certain to not leave it unattended.  

I also want to share another classic Christmas card featuring the Festive Holly and Cardinals Stamp and Die set fro Heartfelt Creations.    It's another take on Merry and Bright!
