Handmade Christmas card featuring a cozy fireplace, decorated tree, and rocking chair.

Hello, Honey Bee friends and happy Tuesday!! Brenda back with you today!! Have you seen the new Cozy Christmas Release that just dropped last night?!? Oh my goodness!! So amazing!! My card today features the Lovely Layers: Fireplace Holiday Add-on Die Set!! This set includes so many detailed dies to deck the halls and embellish the Lovely Layers: Fireplace Dies for the holidays!!

Wishing you all the magic of Christmas card with a cozy fireplace, stockings, tree and rocking chair, Honey Bee Stamps.

I began by die-cutting the fireplace and logs from light gray, tan and white cardstock using the original Lovely Layers: Fireplace Die Set. I rubbed Vintage Photo and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Inks over the rock portion of the fireplace to bring out the texture. The elements in the Lovely Layers: Fireplace Holiday Add-on Die Set were cut from red, green, brown, dark gray, white, honey gold mmirror cardstock and pattern paper from the North Pole Paper Pad. I brought out the texture of the tree, wreath and garland with a dark green dye ink and the stockings with white pigment ink, then adhered all the pieces together with Bee Creative Glue.

The plaid pattern paper from the North Pole Paper Pad was die-cut with the second largest die in the Sweet Stacks: Rectangles Die Set to create the wallpaper background. I also die-cut a piece of tan cardstock with the same die, then embossed it with the Wood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. It was trimmed, rubbed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, then adhered to the plaid panel, before being adhered to an A2 white card base. All of the die-cuts were adhered with a combination of foam adhesive and Bee Creative Glue.

The sentiment, from the Wonder of Christmas Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. It was cut out with the Coordinating Die, then popped up above the mantle with foam tape. Tiny red gems from the North Pole Gem Stickers and Star Dust Stickles added to the stockings and snow on the tree finish off the card and add a bit of sparkle.

Can you tell me what you outlined the bricks with. I am guessing a gel pen but what size?
