We lost our only living uncle this year and I wanted to send out
a special card to my Aunt and cousins this Christmas.
This set get pulled out every year. It's called
Night in Bethlehem.
So I started by created the background by stamping the large and
small stars using versamark ink and then embossing them with
clear embossing powder.
Next I inked the background using Azure Afternoon ink (SU).
I inked down so far, leaving space for my city scape and land.
I added some heavier lines where the star was shining.
Next I stamped Bethlehem and gently inked around it.
I used black soot distress ink to created the silhouette
land and mountain then stamped the shepherd on the top.
I added some yellow to the houses and finished
with a star in the centre of the white star.
The sentiment was stamped directly onto the black
then white embossed.
It has then been matted onto silver and azure afternoon card.
Nice and flat for posting.
I would like to enter this into
(while Shepherds watched their flock by night)
We went to watch one of our Grandson's with his school choir
in the Shopping Centre this morning.
Kids singing definitely makes Christmas special.
It was such a joy to watch.
He was super chuffed when he spotted us in the crowd
as his parents both had to go to work.
