Big Blooms Holly - Mini Make

 Even though the A4 square sets of Barbara's Big Blooms stamps have larger stamps, they come with masks and can still be used to make smaller cards.  Here I used the Silhouette Holly Leaf stamps and masks on a 4" x 4" card blank.  I also went with less conventional colours.

Stamp the three leaf cluster with no berries onto a 4" x 4" white card blank in Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide.

Mask the image and add a second one in Milled Lavender Oxide.

Repeat in the same ink.

Move the masking and add further stamping in Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.

Add berries to two of the clusters using the berry outline from the A5 square version of the same design in Versamark ink.  Heat emboss with gold embossing powder, colour with a gold Posca pen then add further embossing powder while wet and heat again.

To finish, add one of the gold Pergamano rub-on transfers from the Christmas Sentiments.
