I've a quick second post to share a card I made a couple of days ago for a challenge that closes today: I'm sharing a card for the current challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown using the layout at Hand Stamped Sentiments:
That multi-layered sketch was perfect for building a mini scene with shaped dies, so I grabbed some old favourites and set to work - take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I used my Bethlehem Edgelits as the basis for my scene, framing it in a diecut arch and backing with some retired Merry Little Christmas starry night paper. I carried the stars through to an embossed layer behind, added a sheet of festive text and then a stamped Mary and Joseph on a donkey and stamped sentiment from 'Night in Bethlehem':
There's actually quite a lot going on in this card, so I kept my colour scheme to black and white so that it didn't overwhelm the other elements of the design. Even though this bundle is long retired, it will always remain a favourite of mine; I use it every year at least once as I think it's a really lovely set for religious cards.
Enjoy your evening and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
