I had such a blast making today’s card!\u00a0 It would have been great to have had Cut ‘n’ Dry felt so I could make my own custom stamp pads.\u00a0 It sounds like a very cool technique that I’m going to try someday when I get the necessary supplies. But for now, I made do.\u00a0 (Check out Tim’s directions for making custom colored stamp pads<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

There’s lots of stamping on this card, many layers in fact, and I think that’s what makes it so nice.\u00a0 It’s simple, yet deep, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

\"merry<\/a><\/p>\n

I started off by inking the paper (I just use plain white paper, the inserts that come in page protectors) with weathered wood and tumbled glass distress inks.\u00a0 Then I stamped my pine cone branch with pine needles distress ink.<\/p>\n

I used the rest of the q-tip from yesterday’s project (there it\u00a0\u00a0was, just\u00a0sitting on my desk, and it was perfect) to add vintage photo and walnut stain inks to the pine cones and peeled paint to the branch.\u00a0 Next, the music background was stamped with bundled sage distress and the flourishes with antique linen.<\/p>\n

The Merry Christmas was added with fired brick and aged mahogany.<\/p>\n

Finally I stamped all around with the splatter background with walnut stain.<\/p>\n

The birdhouse was glue-dotted on, the cord taped around the back and that was that.<\/p>\n

This one went so quick I can see doing several in assembly line fashion.<\/p>\n
