The Stamparatus is your best friend when stamping the floral arrangement on the front of this Christmas card.  I first mounted the floral outline on a Stamparatus plate and stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  I then laid the roses stamp upside-down over the stamped outline so that it all lined up, closed the Stamparatus plate to pick up the stamp, then inked and stamp the rose in Cherry Cobbler.  I repeated the process for the leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow ink and berries stamped in Poppy Parade ink.  There are multiple stamps for the leaves and berries, so here's a tip... lay out all the stamps for the leaves over the outline image, pick them all up together on the Stamparatus plate, then ink and stamp them all at the same time.  Do the same for the berries too!

Bonus!  Once you've done this, your Stamparatus is set up to make multiples of pretty Christmas cards in record time!
