It's been while since I've participated in the Christmas Card Challenge as life has been busy with the build up to Thailand and this week exam results for Olivia. I'm delighted to share though that she got her first choice place to study Business and will be leaving the nest very soon. We are so proud of her.
Our challenge today is set by Christine and she wanted us to remember the true meaning of Christmas which has fallen perfectly with my recent order of the new stamp set Night in Bethlehem and the Bethlehem edgelits . These will both be available to purchase in my Stampin Up online shop from 1 September. Aren't they fabulous and will be useful for years to come. I've teamed them up with some new papers called Merry Music Specialty and you can just see that the sheet I've used has a carol printed on it with the line "Born a king on Bethlehem's plain...." I've used sponges and ink to add colour to a soft sky bendy card similar to one in shape to one I made years ago for Shelli's old creative challenges which I won. You can just see too that I used the brick wall mask behind the first layer of buildings to add a little more interest. I've also heat embossed in clear some stars onto the carol sheet prior to sponging on colour. Mary and Joseph are stamped and die cut black on white.
Do take a look around the other ladies blogs for lots more 'Reason for the Season' inspiration.
Happy Sunday.
