Peace and Joy Pals Paper Arts#273

For this card I brought out a retired stamp set "Best of Christmas".  The Nativity Scene was speaking to me.

 

• I started by embossing the nativity scene in Early Espresso embossing powder on Whisper White cardstock.  The edges were sponged with Early Espresso ink and matted with Early Espresso cardstock.  The image was then painted with Champagne glimmer paint (retired) and a blender pen.
• I then placed a 2 1/2 by 5" piece of Early Espresso cardstock, placed the matted image piece on this strip, and adhered 1/2 circles of Neutral DSP on either side of this.  The image piece was then adhered to the strip using dimensionals.
• The Champagne mist glimmer paint and blender pen was again used to create shiny dots on the Early Espresso strip.
• The base card is Early Espresso, layered with Whisper White and then Neutrals Series DSP pack.  All edges were sponged with Early Espresso ink.
• The Early Espresso panel was then adhered to the DSP.
• The sentiment is from "Good Greetings"

Here's a side view of the card showing some of the shimmering going on

Santa Christmas tags

This is one of 12 tags I made to attach to Christmas presents.

I stamped the image in Black Stazon ink onto Whisper White card stock, and then used the Circles framelits to die cut it into a circle.  The Circles #2 die was used to make the black circle backing, and the windows framelits to make the tag backing.
The image was coloured with SU markers, and a bit of Cherry Cobbler dazzling details was used to highlight the holly on the hat. To make the hat sparkly, I put a bit of dazzling diamonds on the fur of the hat.

Dasher - Peace on Earth - Unscripted Sketches

Due to my busy craft sale schedule I have not blogged for about a week.  I still have a few craft sales to go so I won't be blogging as frequently as I was before.
My last sale was Thanksgiving weekend (Canadian) and I sold almost all of my Christmas cards, so the last couple of days I have been frantically making more for my next show.
This Christmas card was made using the sketch with Unscripted Sketches here
I turned the sketch on its side.
