For todays card I used the new WInter Berry stamp, and colored with copics. Next I cut it using paper snips very closely to the outline. Then using black Copic multilines I colored the edges, so you can't see the white on the side of the paper. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Next adhered the branch and assembled my card.





Now, head over to

I frequently edge my cut images with the color that matches the cardstock so that the white doesn't show. Thank you for your attention to this detail as it makes for a very rich looking card!!!
