Today's card features the new Night Before Christmas Background from the Handmade Holiday release. This is another of those backgrounds where the pieces come apart so you can stamp them separately.
For this card, I started by die cutting a circle from a panel of cardstock. The circle and the negative cut were used as masks for the card. I started by placing the die cut circle over a second panel of cardstock, and then inked the panel up with Broken China and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.
Then I placed the negative cut/frame over the panel, removed the circle, and inked up the moon using Antique Linen and just a bit of Mustard Seed Distress Ink.
After heat setting the ink, I replaced the circle and then stamped the entire panel with the Magic Stars Background in Versamark and clear embossed the stars. This was a little more subtle than I wanted, so I went back and added a bit more Chipped Sapphire to help them stand out a bit more.
Next, I stamped Santa and his sleigh with Versafine and clear embossed.
My original plan was to just have the moon and sleigh, but I decided that it really needed to be grounded, so I added the skyline image at the bottom, again stamping with Versafine and clear embossing.
Finally, I added the sentiment, from the Holiday Greetings Mix 1 set, stamped with Versafine and clear embossed as well.
That's all for me today, thanks for visiting!
