Mele Kalikimaka!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a FESTIVE Holiday Card combining some of my FAVORITES!! I LOVE being able to combine New and Old Products to give NEW Life to some of my most used Dies!! I hope this Card inspires you on ways you can achieve a similar design with some of your FAVORITE Products!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Image from the NEW Hau’oli Mau Lanui Stamp Set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossing with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Colored the Image with Copic Markers!! 
Red: R00, R14 & R39     Blue: B000, B23 & B32    White: N0 & N3     Grey: N0, N3 & N5 
Brown: E40, E43 & E47       Green: YG01, YG17 & G19     Skin: E000, E11 & E13      Yellow: Y00, Y13 & YR23
Then I used the coordinating NEW Hau’oli Mau Lanui Die Set to Die Cut the Image out!! I then added some White Gel Pen Highlights to finish the Image off!! 

Next I Die Cut several Images from the Holiday Candle & Botanical Die Set!! I LOVE how versatile this Set is for Cards of ALL Occasions!! Just by changing the Colors and combinations you can use this Set YEAR Round!! I Die Cut the Images from White Cardstock and then Colored them with Copic Markers to help tie everything together!! 
Poinsettia: R00, R32 & R39      Green: YG03 & YG11      Pine Leaves: YG01, YG17 & G19
Eucalyptus Leaves: BG72, BG75 & BG78    Yellow Center: Y00 & YR23
I added White Gel Pen Highlights to finish the Images off!! 

I created 2 of the same Clusters to add on either side of the Design and I LOVE that you can create as many as you need for ANY Design!! It would be BEAUTIFUL to use this same Design to create a Wreath as a Focal Die Cut Design!! So many Possibilities with this Set!! Next I Die Cut the Card Panel from some White Cardstock using the A2 Modern Embossed Rectangle Stack Die Set!! Then I Inked in the Center of the Panel using Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink!! I added some Water Splatters for some Texture!!

I adhered the Focal Image using Foam Tape for some Dimension, centering it on the Card Panel!! Then I added the “J” and “Y” Die Cut Letters also Die Cut from the Holiday Candle & Botanical Die Set!! I used Colored Cardstock and added Copic Marker Highlights to keep everything cohesive!! Then I adhered the Poinsettia Clusters and the Stamped and Embossed Sentiment with Foam Tape for Dimension!! SWOON!! I LOVE this Design and how everything works together!! It makes me so HAPPY to be able to combine my Products in NEW ways!! 

I finished off the Design by adding some Gorgeous Golden Baubles and I LOVE the Texture and Shine they add to the Finished Design!! You could use ANY Focal Image here and create a Similar Design and change it us for the different Holidays by choosing a different Color Combination too!! ENDLESS Possibilities!! My TIP: is to use whatever Coloring Medium you want and Color BOTH the Die Cut Images and Stamped Images using that same Medium!! This helps to TIE everything together for a cohesive look and feel and I LOVE the finished results!! I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??
