Batch Making Christmas Cards

I needed some last minute Christmas cards, so decided to batch make a set.  I made seven cards in under an hour using the Tina's Turtle Doves stamp set from Claritystamp!

Use a stamp platform to stamp four of the centrepiece stamps onto a 7" x 7" piece of Clarity stencil card using Sepia Versafine ink.
Die cut each of the images using the fifth smallest nested circle picot die.
Colour the hearts using a water brush and Tea Dye Distress Oxide on an acrylic block.
Use the same method to colour the doves, this time using Frayed Burlap Distress ink as it is more translucent.
Using the same circle picot die as before, cut mats for each of the toppers.
Trim down each of the turtle dove toppers using a slightly smaller circle die and mat them up.
Add the sentiment from the turtle dove stamp set directly onto the front of 6" x 6" white card blanks in Sepia ink.
To finish, add a topper to each card using foam pads for added dimension.
