MI003 Ink Blending Brushes
PS400 Dove White Top Folded Cards
PS325 Dove White Cardstock
PS772 Classic Vellum Layering Paper

GW101 Precision Glue
Foam Adhesive
Die-cutting Machine
Low-tack Tape

Instructions:

1. Ink-blend a gradation on the front of an A2 top-folding Dove White card base in Nautical and Stone Wash inks.
2. Die cut an A2 panel (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) of Dove White cardstock with the pine/sky scene die. Discard the negatives (including the stars) but save the moon.
3. Ink-blend the pine/sky diecut panel in Stone Wash and Dusty Blue to create a gradation. Ink-blend a gradation over the moon with Dusty Blue.
4. Add foam adhesive to the backside of the pine/sky panel making sure to add a small amount behind all the pointed stars so that the adhesive is visible from the front.
5. Die cut some silver cardstock with pine/sky scene die (you just need the pointed stars so you can use a scrap). Inlay the silver stars into the pine/sky panel, the foam adhesive will hold them in place.
6. Adhere pine/sky panel to card front and inlay moon with foam adhesive.
7. Die cut an A2 panel (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) of Dove White cardstock and silver cardstock (you only need the ground details negatives so you can use a scrap) with the trees scene die. Remove the negatives from diecuts but save the silver ground negatives.
8. Place strips of tape to the backside of the Dove White tree panel behind the ground. Then inlay the silver ground negatives, the tape will hold the negatives in place.
9. Adhere tree panel to the pine/sky panel with Precision Glue.
10. Die cut the “Merry” and “Christmas” word dies out of silver cardstock and their shadow layers out of vellum. Adhere the silver sentiments to the shadow layers.
11. Die cut “christmas” 5 more times out of white cardstock. Adhere the word die cuts together. Trim off the “c” and the “tmas” so you only have “hris” and then adhere behind the silver/vellum stacked sentiment.
12. Adhere sentiments to card front with Precision Glue.
