Stampin' on Tissue Paper

The technique I used for today's card is called "Faux Silk". Here is a link to the SplitCoast Stampers tutorial. In a nutshell, you stamp your image on a piece of tissue paper, crumple it into a little ball, un-crumple it, and glue it to card stock using the Anywhere Glue Stick. You end up with a very soft "crumpled" look. Before I crumpled the tissue paper, I did all the coloring except for applying the Dazzling Diamonds. I added the sparkle to the holly berries after I glued my tissue paper down. I used small dots of Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds to give it "sparkle".

Stampin'Up!'s new Christmas Collage, available in the Holiday Mini catalog, is a beautiful vintage looking stamp. It's a large stamp with an image size of 4 1/2 x 5 3/4" much like our background stamps. It easily trims down to a standard card size without taking a lot away from the collage.

Today's project is an unusual size 4 3/4" by 5 1/2". I wanted to show as much of the collage as possible. My color pallet was Garden Green, Always Artichoke, and Cherry Cobbler. The coloring was done using Blender Pens and ink.
