Christmas!

Hello crafty friends, I'm back with a new card I made for my family and friends, an altered shadow box card using Away in a manger Hello bluebird stamps. Images were coloured with copic markers and cut wth scan n cut.

To make the card, I started by scoring at 13m 15, and 28cm on a 1/2 A4 panel cut lengthwise.

On another panel 10.5 x 16.5 cm panel, I scored at 1.5 cm on one end and 2cm at the other end. Used the 2nd to the largest MFT Stitched dome die-namics.

For the front panel, I have diet a circle and used distress inks to create a night sky. Used uni-ball white gel pen to add stars. The image is taken off the internet that I printed into card stock as I didn't have wise men stamps.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it in fine white embossing powder. Added a few more images.

For the centre panel, I added a ground insert to add my nativity characters. At the outer panel, I adhered the star, angels and other images to create the scene.

For the background, I blended more night sky using distress inks.

I added an extra panel at the back to write a message.

Here is my finished card. Hope you like it.

Birds and Blooms - Sweet n Sassy Stamps

Hello friends. Just wanted to share a quick post with this card I made for the July CAS Card Lottery.
To color my image, I used my copics. I found it challenging to color the cherry blossoms, so I googled an image, and this helped me choose colours from my copic colour selection. I did the same thing with the bird. Such a handy tip if you are out of ideas what to colour your images, go to google. To finish off, I used a stripey card panel from my paper stash. Here is my card. Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting,
