Come to Bethlehem Ornament - challenge 203 LNS

This is my second ornament for the challenge with the LNS group.  I saw this on Pinterest and just had to case it.  It was originally a combination gift card holder and ornament made and designed by Lisa Young here  but I changed the design a bit and made it an ornament only. On her blog she gives directions on how to make this lovely ornament.

Stamp: Come to Bethlehem
Ink: Versa Mark, Night of Navy
Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White, Silver glimmer
Accessories: Clear Circle die, Pewter embossing powder, Starburst embossing folder, 1/4" stitched white grosgrain ribbon

I must admit making Christmas cards makes a body feel cooler.  The heat here has been unrelenting and today is no different.  What we need is more rain! Already the corn crops are ruined by the lack of it.

To make the card for the Technostamper challenge here  I turned the sketch sideways.

Inks: Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit

Papers: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Be of Good Cheer designer paper

Accessories: Apothecary Accents framelits, Dazzling diamonds, Paper Piercing pack essentials, dimensionals, Polka dot embossing folder

Come to Bethlehem - Creative Sketches CS46S

This week's challenge here uses a Triptych as a focal point of the sketch.  I had to look up what the work Triptych meant as I had not come across that word before.
Triptych:  a word of Greek origin which refers to a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided in 3 sections.

Stamps: Come to Bethlehem, Petite Pairs
Inks: Versa Mark, Basic black
Papers: Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Mocha Morning Specialty Paper, Whisper White, Brushed Gold
Accessories: Snow burst embossing folder, Top Note die, Modern word label punch, Word label punch, Black brad, Iridescent ice embossing powder, White embossing powder, Gold embossing powder, Versa marker

The image was embossed with white embossing powder on basic black card stock.  The stars were embossed with gold embossing powder.\
Each of the 3 panels was matted with brushed gold card stock.
The Whisper White top note was double embossed - the snow burst embossing folder with iridescent ice embossing powder.
