Are you ready for Christmas? I started my holiday creations using different colors and this year the Gold Rose is trending so I used it to create the background of my card with a little twist: coloring the texture created by the embossing folder. On this project I used Delicata Ink and Memento Markers with two different stamping techniques!

I divided the creation process in two steps. Fist I created the wood background using a piece of rose gold cardstock , a wood embossing folder and Delicata Ink in Dark Brown color.

1. Put the paper inside of the folder.
2. Ink the upper side of the folder directly with the Delicata ink pad.
3. Pass the sandwich as usual through the big shot.
4. Remove the embossed cardstock.
5. Paste the embossed layer over a card base.

Now is time to create the stamped image. For this I used watercolor paper and Memento Markers in two different colors :

1. Put and secure the Wreath stamp over a Misti, this tool will help you to re-stamp all the times that you need.
2. Use Memento Marker to color the different parts of the image.
3. Stamp over the watercolor paper.
4. With a paint brush or aqua painter, create a distress around the leaves of the wreath and in the center of the berries.
5. If you consider it necessary, you can re-stamp the image after creating the distress and the paper is totally dry.

6. Cut the wreath using a cross stitch die cut circle.
7. Made some embellishments over the wreath using White Radian Neon Amplify and melt with the heat tool to create the puffy effect.
8. Stamp the Peace sentiment on the center of the wreath using Delicata Ruby Red.
9. Paste the wreath over the decorated base and finalize the decoration adding a tiny bow.
