Silent Night

Morning crafters, Sorry another rather busy Christmas card, though this is showing an image from one of my all time favorite artists, Thomas Kinkade. I love his work.

Thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday they really appreciated. I do try to comment on all the blogs I follow so if I have missed any then I apologize, last night I was exhausted and spent most of the evening asleep on the settee lol!! We are talking about 5pm onwards here!!! Anyway todays card...

Items Used:

• Basic White card 8" x 8"
• Create and Craft Pearlescent Card - Blue
• Spellbinders M-Bossibilities folder - Garden Lattice
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Majestic  Elements - Majestic Lables Twenty-Five
• Spellbinders Fancy Framed Two
• Joanna Sheen Thomas Kinkade CD-Rom
• Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Burgundy
• Heartfelt Creations Peaceful Night Pre Cut Stamps
• Do Crafts Papermania Clear Stamps - Sleigh (Sentiment)
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Black Soot & Fired Brick
• Colorbox Tuscany  - Topaz
• Colorbox Arboretum - Magenta
• Versa Color - Royal Blue

I started off by matting and layering some White card that I had pin pricked round the edge followed by some  Create and Craft Pearlescent Card - Blue onto my base card. With more White card I stamped it up with Heartfelt Creations Peaceful Night Pre Cut Stamps using Colorbox Tuscany  - Topaz, Colorbox Arboretum - Magenta and Versa Color - Royal Blue, I then ran this through the Grand Calibar using Spellbinders M-Bossibilities folder - Garden Lattice, I rounded off the corners and matted it onto my card.

With some Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Burgundy I embossed it using Spellbinders Nestabilities Majestic  Elements - Majestic Lables Twenty-Five, I then printed an image from Joanna Sheen Thomas Kinkade CD-Rom, die cut it with Spellbinders Nestabilities Majestic  Elements - Majestic Lables Twenty-Five, I matted this over the burgundy embossed card so that the burgundy card came through the die cuts of the image, I attached this to the card at an angle for added interest.

Using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Black Soot  to stamp the sentiment from Do Crafts Papermania Clear Stamps - Sleigh I die cut using  Spellbinders Fancy Framed Two and inked through the die with Tim Holtz Distress Inks Fired Brick, I cut some Blue & Burgundy card out with Spellbinders Fancy Framed Two, I trimmed the ends from the Burgundy card then matted the sentiment, Blue die cut and the Burgundy together as seen. I placed this in the bottom right corner, there you have the finished card.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx
