As You See It challenge sketch – silent night

Hello there and welcome to the new challenge at As You See It – this time we have a sketch and it gave me another opportunity to showcase the new ‘Away in a Manger’ stamp set released yesterday by ClarityCrafts. I’m also going to share it with the current ‘anything goes’ challenge at The Holly & Ivy

I started with a 6×6 card blank and cut the right hand side off the front, then attached a couple of pieces of Antarctica paper – one to the remainder of the card front and the other to the inside.

I stamped the image of the Holy Family onto a spare piece of Antarctica, added shading with green and blue Pregaliner pencils and then fussy cut it. The paper that I’d used for this card has a light area in the centre, so I cut that as a backing piece, mounted it on a square of white card, brushed a little ‘chipped sapphire’ Distress Oxide across the bottom and attached the fussy cut image. I stamped the star in the corner with the ‘chipped sapphire’ and shaded it with the green and blue Pergaliners.

I then attached the topper to the card front, making sure that I only put glue on the left hand side! I added a word sticker to the panel on the inside of the card, and finished with a few silver gems.

Here’s a shot of the card opened up, so you can better see the layout. And now we’d love to see how you use our sketch – there’s more inspiration from my design team mates over at As You See It and our challenge runs until midnight on Wednesday 4 October

  7. Deborah those papers are so dramatic and atmospheric and a lovely way to frame the holy family image. The white borders do a great job of framing the panels too. Lovely!
