A Few Details To Recreate Card

Every holiday season I watch for a musical instrument stamp set and this year, Stampin’ Up! delivered! Waahoo!  The Musical Season stamp set fit the bill with a harp, mandolin, and the french horn framelit.  I did a little happy dance and put it on my first order.

Wash The Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper with Bermuda Bay ink and the Aqua Painter Brush which created a fabulous background.

Emboss the harp by: stamp the harp image with VersaMark and stamp again with Bermuda Bay.  The VersaMark dries a little slower than ink so you have time to grab the emboss powder, sprinkle on the image and heat set with Heating Tool.

Ink the mistletoe stamp set with the Bermuda Bay and Cherry Cobble markers.  Don’t forget to huff  on the stamp to remoisten the ink.

Stamp the “JOY” in the sentiment using the VersaMark ink.  You will have to mask off everything before and after Joy.

Finally, purchase the stamp set and framelits as a bundle and receive 10% off the price.
