Merry Merry Christmas...

I used the Close To My Heart Merry, Merry stamp set to make this card.

I first stamped the wreath image with Versamark ink, and sprinkled Gold embossing powder over top and heat set it.

For the bird image, I stamped it in lagoon, and used a black journal pen to draw the lines on the branch, then trimmed it out with my scissors and popped it up with 3D foam tape.

And I added some Aqua Dots to decorate the wreath.  Easy, peasy.

Happy creating!  :)
