Three Wise Men

 

Hi there 

I am back with my third project for November

and Paper Rose Studio.

 As we are heading towards Christmas at great speed I thought i would share  another 

Christmas card, 

this one has ended up  bright and colourful.

To create the card base I have blended Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar masking off 

the background with a stencil to create an irregular shaped colour block as my base.

The background has also been distressed with water and splatters of gold paint.

The three wise men are coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

 I have fussy cut them and arranged them 

on the card base.

I kept the card really simple and clean as the colours looked so cheerful and

bright together.

Supplies used:

23818 Three Wise Men Stamp Set

18225 Christmas Sentiments 4 x 6 Stamp set

Prismacolor Pencils

Distress Oxide Spun Sugar

Blending Brush

I am loving the new stamps and dies that have been released lately,

I hope you liked this project and are able to find some creative time in your day.

Until next Time

Holy Family Christmas Card

 

Hi again

I have another card to share with you.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour my stamped images.

These beautiful Christmas stamps are from Paper Rose Studio.

For my background I have used my scan n cut to cut out a mask for

 my background.

I have used distress oxide ink in Speckled egg to fill in colour. I have also splattered the background with gold paint whilst the mask is still in place.

After colouring in my stamped images I have fussy cut them out 

and layered them up to create my nativity scene. 

My stamped out sentiment has been cut out with the Scan n Cut 

and I have added some tiny gold stars to finish,

supplies used:

23815 Holy Family Clear stamp

23812 Stable Clear Stamp

18335 Christmas Sentiments Stamp

Distress oxide Ink - Speckled Egg

Flowering Gum Christmas Card

 

Hi There 

I am so shocked that it's November already! 

 For today's project I have made a very Australian

Christmas card using the Paper Rose Studio Flowering Gum stamp.

I will share a few more Christmas cards as it will be there before we know it.

I have kept  the card really simple as I feel the Gum leaves and flowers

 are the main feature here.

I have used Prismacolor pencils to colour the stamped image.

When doing such intense pencil blending I prefer to use Mi-Tientes 

pastel paper as a base, it has a lot of tooth and grabs the waxy pigment of the

Prismacolor pencils really well.

After stamping the image I have built up the pigment slowly adding layer after layer of pencil until

the textured surface of this paper has filled out. This can take awhile and sometime you need to use a blending pencil ( clear wax) or a light coloured pencil to blend the layers together.

To complete the card I have used a yellow Posca paint pen to add the flecks of 

pollen on the tips of the gum flowers.

I have also used the Merry Christmas everyone die cut from black card 

for a simple sentiment. 

Supplies used: 

23152 flowering Gum stamp

22150 Merry Christmas Everyone Die

Prismacolor pencils 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my project

see you next time
