Pottery by Cheryl Rotnem

Stamp credits: Magenta & D.O.T.S.

1. First cut a piece of Ruby Red cardstock about 4" X 9" and fold the long way. Stamp background in Ruby Red Stampin' up! dye ink with a Navajo print rubber stamp.

2. Take some light green scrap paper (I used two-toned blocks of green) and cut about 1/4" smaller than main card. Punch corners with the notched punch.

3. Now take a piece of glossy cardstock, cut to 6 1/2" X 2 1/2". DTP (Direct to Paper) with spots of colors from Earth Elements (Stampin' Up!) dye inks all over cardstock. Now take the Pottery stamp (Magenta) ink it with a VersaMark inkpad and stamp onto cardstock. Put embossing powder over inked pottery and emboss with heat gun.

4. Last, take a black dye ink pad and ink all over the embossed cardstock. Now wipe away excess ink and you will see the pottery! This is Joseph’s Coat technique. Punch corner once again with notched punch and mount pottery onto of green paper onto of main red cardstock.

1. Stamp roses (Magenta) onto yuzen washi with Versacraft Black; emboss in clear.

2. Paint roses and leaves with red & green calligraphy ink.

3. Stamp "joy" (Art Neko) with Versamark, and emboss with Ranger Christmas Green Embossing Tinsel.

4. Mount on glossy black, gold, & green cardstock, and you're done!
