Christmas Star

I had a couple of hours spare from deadlines yesterday and lots of Christmas products on my desk so I thought I would take the opportunity to make a couple of Christmas Cards for my collection.

I decided on a star theme this time around adding layers to the background using Tim Holtz stencils and stamps. I coloured the star with Distress Oxides Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio.

I love adding layers to my designs so I still wanted to achieve the same with my Christmas cards, but trying to keep them simple enough to make a few in a short amount of time.

I added a touch of stencilling outside the star and added a touch of Texture Paste to Santa's coat and hat etc.

I added a couple of Star Adornments for added dimension.

I then created a couple of cards using the Baubles from the same stamp set, stamping the focal image with Cornflower Blue Archival Ink.

I added a touch of stencilling to the inside of the card for an added little detail.

I added a touch of dimension to the centre bauble by stamping twice and added some delicate splatters of white paint for that snowy feel.

Once again Adornments Star embellishments have been added for further interest.

That's a couple of cards now made for my collection later in the year, now to think of another design!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
