This is a card I  had fun creating using the versatile stamp set called Ornate Ornaments from Lawn Fawn.   I was really excited about this stamp set because it can be used for so many different age groups and is a great stamp to use for your Holiday cards.    

Techniques:
Copic  - Tip to Tip Inking 
Copic - On paper Inking
Resist Embossing
Sponging
Die Cutting

Supplies:
Stamps:
Ornate Ornaments  (Lawn Fawn)

Paper:
Pure Luxury White Cardstock (GKD)
Cryogen (Curious Metallic)
Blue from my scrap bin (Bazzill)

Ink:
Copic Alcohol Ink (.too, Inc.)
Memento Tuxedo Black  (Tsukineko) 
Memento Nautical Blue (Tsukineko)
Tim Holtz Pine Needles DistressInk (Ranger)
Copic Opaque Ink (.too, Inc.)
VersaMark Dazzle watermark stamp pad (Tsukineko)

Other:
Acrylic stamping block
Paper trimmer
Scor-Buddy (Scor-Pal)
ATG Adhesive
Grand Calibur (Spellbinders)
Nestabilities Petite Large/Small Oval die (Spellbinders)
Jumbo Sponge Daubers (Tsukineko)
Calligraphy pen and ink
Liquid Applique (Marvy)
Heat tool (Marvy)
Star Dust Stickles (Ranger)

Measurements:
Cut  a 8.5  x 11 in.  cardstock in portrait orientation.   This will produce two 4.25 x 5.5 in. pieces.  You will only use one piece of cardstock.  Score at 5.5 in.
Base Layer: 4 x 5.25 in.
Focal image: Scrap paper

Copics Used:
Ornament:  B18, B14, B12, B00, B000, (B14 tip to tip to B18)
Evergreen Branch:  G28, YG63, G40, E49, B17, G29, Opaque white ink
Background: B000, B00, B10, C00, C1, G40, Opaque white ink

I used Marvy Liquid Applique and Stickles sparingly to look like snow on the branch.  I inked  background paper using the smallest branch from the stamp set using a VersaMark watermark stamp pad and used clear fine detail embossing powder.  I fixed the ink/embossing powder  with a heating tool.  I then sponged my memento and Distress Ink over the top.   I tried to match the colors I used with my Copic markers.   

Thank you for stopping by.   Hop back over to our  MarkerPop Blog and the Lawn Fawn's blog Hop.    Remember that the more you comment - the more chances to win some awesome prizes!

  32. Its like you read my mind! You appear to understand so
    much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or
    something. I believe that you could do with some percent to power the message house a bit, but instead of that, that is excellent blog.

    A great read. I will certainly be back.
