Morning all - wow - this year is already flying! Can't believe it!!!! Already time for my second GDT spot for Christmas card Challenges. This week the challenge is to make a Christmas card using silhouettes. My card is here:
I've used a set of stamps from claritystamp detailing the nativity. The card was cut using a die and I've matted and layered the card and stuck to an orange and black colour scheme. I've used a peach coloured base card and built up the outside with distress inks - spiced marmalade, scattered straw and a little walnut stain. I've used the edge of the foam and not blended to get a sort of saw tooth effect. Well I had fun making it anyway!!!!!
I had fun at the workshop yesterday too - more on that tomorrow but it was fabulous fun and great value for money too! Thanks Sarah McCrossan for a fabby day!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
abcchristmaschallenge: A is for animal - there's at least two there!
songbirdchallenges: Paint it black - black +1
craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge: No rudolph
Thanks for visiting today and I hope to see you again soon!

Wow Rachel, this is beautiful. You could not have chosen a better stamp, in my opinion, the silhouette looks beautiful against your background - I like the 'tooth' effect with the DIs as it gives it a halo effect - wonderful work! Hugs, Anne x
