Instructions:

· Stamp Hardwood background onto Crumb Cake. TIP: Ink stamp first, then place cardstock on top of stamp. Rub bone folder against the cardstock to allow even coverage.

· Take sponge and dip it into ink. Take the inked sponge and rub crumb cake around edges and in center. TIP: Cut sponges into 4.

· Use the small solid and outline holly leaves to stamp in a circle in different directions and stamping off to create a wreath.

· Dip the solid cluster of 3 berries in Real Red and place them throughout the leaves.· It is time to emboss. Take the Embossing buddy and rub it all over the piece of Crumb

Cake.· Take your VersaMark and stamp the sentiment into the center of the stamped holly

leave wreath. Note: I used a sentiment from the Tags and Trimmings stamp set, however any sentiment will do!

· Cover the sentiment with white embossing powder, tapping off any extra powder. Tip: Use a scrap piece of paper folded in the center under your project as use the powder. This helps to keep your surface clean and it makes it easier to put the powder back in the jar.

· Apply heat to the sentiment using the heat tool. You should see the powder change to a more solid color. This is how you know it is done.

· Now using snail adhesive, you will begin to assemble the card. First the Whisper White piece on the card base, then the Crumb Cake Cardstock piece onto the Whisper White

· Voila!
