Hello crafty friends. Well we’ve got some fabulous new & exclusive stamps launching on Create & Craft TV today from ClarityCrafts – the second set in ‘Linda’s Christmas Compendium’. This card uses the lovely scene stamp from ‘oh little town of Bethlehem’ and I decided it really didn’t need much else adding to it.
I started by embedding a square frame into the front of a black 6×6 card blank. I heat embossed the Bethlehem scene onto it with WOW’s superfine gold metallic powder, adding the sentiment below it.
I decided to paint the buildings using Perfect Pearl mica powders in ‘smokey blue’ and ‘copper’ using a fine paintbrush, then added a little ‘pearl’ to the star. And that was it – as you all know, I love CAS style cards!
Thanks for dropping in. I’ll be back later with another card ahead of this evening’s show. For now I’m heading off to share this card at Christmas Craft Creations where their theme is ‘metallics’.
