Little town of Bethlehem


Good Morning all, i hope you are enjoying some sunshine this week.  


So today i am sharing a batch of Christmas cards i made with a traditional theme but maybe not quite so traditional colours.  Sorry but its a brusho/pixie powder mix again. 



7x7" white card blank.  I first stamped the image onto white card and die cut into a square.  I then using brusho's and pixie powders added colour to the background. Doing it this way i could have alittle control over which area the colour goes in.  Once completely dry i stamped over the top with a christmas script stamp in white gesso.  I then stamped the village again and cut it out and added it over the first image with glue gel.   

I then cut a white frame, matted it onto mirror card, then mounted onto backing 'paper' made with the matching brusho colours as the topper.  Sentiment die cut in same colours. 

Orange and Green version with gold mirri card


Close up.  As the backgrounds are so busy i kept the main focal point white to help it stand out. 



Blue & Orange version with Silver mirri.  



Blue & Gold version with Silver Mirri.  This version i stamped the christmas script with grey ink.  



Pink & Purple version with gold mirri. 

I managed to make 30 of these cards, although the design in the same the different colours and you never get the same background once using the brushos keeps it interesting.

Items used;
Anitas 'Little town of bethlehem' stamp
PSX 'christmas script' stamp K-3221
Cheerylynn Christmas sentiment die
Brushos and Cosmic shimmer pixie powders
Large stitched square dies
7x7 craft uk cardblanks
