Once my image, and saying, were printed on Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts watercolor pencils before stippling Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink around the edges then layered and added brads. For my card, I pulled out another The Cat's Pajamas clear Freshly Brewed Heaven (retired) stamp set and stamped the large coffee cup repeatedly also in pine needles distress ink. I then took my Castle Arts gel pens and colored the tree lights and gingerbread cookie before adding punched holly leaves after I ran them through my dusty paper crimper with red liquid pearl "berries". The final touch was some glittered dew drops from my stash.
