This technique I C.A.S.E.D from fellow demonstrator, Andrea Walford. I loved how she used the Carousel Note for masking!
This card is loaded with different stamps and colors but still a lot of fun to make and I think it is just a beautiful combination of colors! A very different type of card for me...but I love it!

Instructions
- First you cover the entire Whisper White cardstock with Sky Blue using the Brayer tool.
- Then roll the Brayer tool in Kiwi Kiss and add a little bit of green to the background as well.
- Then place the Carousel Note towards the left side of the card where you desire.
- Then, use Close to Cocoa on a background stamp, I used French Script. And stamp it on the paper....where the Carousel Note is "masking" a good portion of the card (the background will not appear there).
- Then, with the mask still in place, use Close to Cocoa and sponge around the edges of the Carousel Note.
- Then I lifted the Carousel Note (no more mask), and stamped Baroque Motif's large swirl in Chocolate Chip ink. Also added a few of the small flowers in the set.
- In Kiwi Kiss stamped the horizontal layout of trees from Lovely as a Tree along the bottom of the card front.
- Then stamped the large tree in Kiwi Kiss (see image above for placement).
- Then again stamped the large tree in Old Olive CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat.
- I then stamped "Christmas" in Chocolate Chip CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat.
- Then, using the small oval punch, punch a scrap piece of Whisper White. Use the brayer tool with Sky Blue and Kiwi Kiss as described above.
- Stamp "Merry" in Chocolate Chip CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat. Then adhere to large oval (punched in Chocolate Chip cardstock/scrap).
- Adhere greeting to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Add gold ink to desired locations - I added it to the "Merry" greeting, towards the top corner, towards the bottom left corner as well.
- Wrap sheer ribbon around the card front and tie in a knot.
- Adhere to card using SNAIL adhesive.
- You're done :)
Happy stampin' and thanks for visiting!
