Christmas Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a sweet and simple Christmas card that I created using a new stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Oh Holy Night.

Aren't those little Wise Men the sweetest??

I knew I wanted to make a simple card when I saw this stamp set so that the focus of the card could remain on the images and sentiment. I started by ink blending a night sky and adding some yellow for the glow of the star. I splattered some gold metallic watercolor onto the background and then set that aside to dry. While that was drying, I stamped the three Wise Men from the Oh Holy Night stamp set, colored them with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I created an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and adhered the night sky panel.  I layered some gold foil cardstock and white cardstock together, used a circle die to cut out an opening for the night sky to show through, stamped my greeting and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I heat embossed my star with some gold embossing powder, used some more of the gold metallic watercolor to color it in and popped it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding those adorable Wise Men.

So simple and sweet!
