My First Christmas Card




This is the outside of a gatefold card, the base of the card is a light blue card, then I added a navy panel on each side of the opening - the background was made by spritzing moonglow/starburst powder onto the card, then the top shaped layer was brayed using the big & juicy inkpad - Happy Birthday. Next I used versamark to stamp the Bethlehem image & covered with black sparkle embossing powder & heated with the heat gun. Above is the inside of the card, using the same techniques. Please click for a clearer view. Thanks for looking & please leave me a comment too, if you wish!! Wish me luck as I'm entering this card into a competition hosted by Jennie, on a forum I'm a member of, Jennie is offering Tim Holtz goodies as a prize - yes please!!!
