Halfway there! It’s the 6th installment of the Smeared & Smudged 12 Days of Christmas. Today’s card is made up with 4 stamps. 2 of which are repeated over and over, for a really pretty look.
The holly and the berries are inked, stamped a few times, and then re-inked and stamped again. It’s important to not ink the images each time, because it gives a much softer, more natural look. Plus, you need to remember to continuously rotate the image.
I love cardinals. They were my Dad’s favorite bird. And he often visits me via cardinal, so this stamp set (from Rubber Stamp Tapestry; it came with the berries, holly, and cardinal) is really special to me. Gene bought it for me several years ago, and I just love it.
The card needed a little something extra, so I stamped this “Joy” in the corner (Inkadinkado), and also used a corner punch from EK. I also added a bit of Sakura’s Clear Stardust pen here and there, as you can see in this photo.
