Scrappy Boy Stamps: Have a very Merry Christmas

I just love the colors for a Victorian Christmas. Mauve, lavender, pink, rich red and dark green blends are my favorite Victorian colors. When Scrappy Boy Stamps came out with the Victorian Christmas stamp set, I was so excited to be able to color them up using my favorite colors! For today's card, I wanted to create a card with a fireplace. Back in those days, fireplaces were huge and very tall. These stamps are perfect for the fireplace die set I have from Hero Arts. 

The Victorian Christmas stamp set comes with a family of four characters and many stamps and sentiments to make a bunch of Christmas and winter-themed cards, scrapbook pages, and decorations. There are coordinating outline dies for this entire stamp set! 

To make this A2 card, I first stamped the stamps on white cardstock and then used the coordinating outline dies to cut them out. I then colored all the images with Copic markers.

For the fireplace, I used a die from Hero Arts and cut it out of watercolor paper. I used the following inks to color the fireplace:

Distress Ink: Fired Brick, Black Soot, Vintage Photo

Distress Oxide for the flame: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey

For the floor, I cut on a piece of chipboard and swiped it with Distress Ink in Ground Espresso. The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny. 

For this A2 card, I cut a black cardstock mat then assembled all the pieces of the card and adhered everything down with liquid glue, except for the woman and the sentiment where I used double-sided foam tape.
