Leaving the bulk of the stamp blank, I colored the holly leaves with the edge of my green dye based ink pad, hit the holly berries with a red tombow marker and stamped down one time. After cleaning up my stamp I then inked it back up with CTMH Desert Sand, carefully lined things up through the clearness and stamped again. I tapped a clean q-tip into some CTMH Cherub Pink chalk and very lightly burnished it into his cheek. Just to give the card a different look I masked the santa face and overstamped with a text stamp. I used this stamp for the text while I really wanted to use this stamp. I smudged my panel with both Brushed Corduroy and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
