When They Saw the Star

I've put together another Christmas card for the BYSH Cardmakers Spring into Christmas 2024 Linky Party and wanted to share it with you today. 

I've used another vintage stamp, this one is Camel Silhouette from Stampington & Co.  The artist, Christine Adolph, is famous for engraving the words of love and romance into the images of her stamps. 

 I used an Ivory cardstock and stamped the image with Pine Cone Versa Fine Clair ink, then die cut it into the oval using Gina Marie Designs X-Stitched Oval Frames. 

For the background I stamped Sweet 'n Sassy's, Psalm 23 and scanned it so that I could size it for my card base.  After printing it also on Ivory cardstock, I used the Stampin' Up, Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, then die cut with the Gina Marie Designs, X-Stitched Rectangle Frames. 

For the sentiment I used Sweet 'n Sassy's Let Us Rejoice, also stamped in Pine Cone on Ivory and trimmed it close to the words.  

Then I used Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide to cover the background piece and tint around the edges of the image and the sentiment pieces.  I selected a navy A2 card base and secured each layer as shown.  Lastly I added a very light line of Platinum Stickles to the star to give the card a hint of sparkle. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
