Good morning everyone! Today I have a card using the wonderful Christmas stamp plate Lumieres de Noel

To colour the beautiful Three Kings image I watercoloured with distress ink refills using : Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Barn Door, Fired Brick, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain, Dusty Concorde, Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Shabby Shutters and Dried Marigold. I’ve also coloured the background to create a night desert scene using the inks and blending the colours with lots of water over the water dampened paper. Heavy 300gsm watercolour paper is advisable for this technique so that the paper doesn’t warp from the water.

I decided to let the image stand alone and simply cut out the scene with a Spellbinders Labels Nestability die and I edged it with black soot distress ink. To make the card in this style I cut a piece of dark brown card with the same die,  scored it approximately 1cm from the top, folded and flattened the 1cm tab and this piece is then attached with glue or glue tape (glue only on the tab)  to the image panel to make the shaped card. I added a prima crystal for the star of wonder, lots of small clear gems for other stars and some stickles glitter glue.

Have a good day today!
Chris
