Merry Christmas Cluster

It's such a shame that I am just now getting around to using this gorgeous stamp, because I LOVE IT! It's Inkadinkado's Merry Christmas Cluster .
All of the stamp was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, except the bird. I colored him/her with a marker, then stamped on Neenah Natural White cardstock. I colored in the flowers and holly with Tombow (water based) markers.

The stamped image was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Mega Nestabilities die. To make the green frame, I cut and embossed two of the same size using Herbal Green Prismatics dark. You can see from the photo that I cut a piece out of the center of one lengthwise, and another piece out of the other one horizontally.
This is what the back looks like after I adhered it to the main image. You will notice that each of the four corners is exposed, which frankly, I like. It's a little different look, but still attractive, and a good fit.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is Northwoods Wishing You Peace . I stamped it with VersaMark ink, then embossed with JudiKins Malachite embossing powder. I used a scrap of the Wassill designer paper on the inside just to make it a little more special.

The poinsettia Primas were found at my local Michael's, and the red cardstock is Blush Red Dark Prismatics .

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate each of you and your thoughtful comments. I will be back soon. Until then....
