My Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here again! I am sharing my Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card as my Guest Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel Prayers. I created a slimline card for my Holy scene.

The Details of My Card

This digital stamp is perfect for so many occasions like birthday, sympathy, get well and thinking of you. However, for my card, I wanted her to be the Christmas Angel from the Nativity. So, I coloured her with my Copic Markers in Christmas colours.

I use the Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and smooshed the lines with my finger before they dried. This gives the lines a softer look, but still allows a flowing movement of her wings. I also used the same pen on all the gold accents to make them shimmer. Finally, I added Clear Wink of Stella on her wrap. You can never have too much sparkle where an angel is concerned!

Instead of a night scene, I decided to create a sunrise with the dawning of the birth of Jesus Christ. For my sunrise, I used my Distress Oxide Inks and my Mini Blending Tool starting with Fossilized Amber at the base of the watercolor paper, followed by Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Broken China and Faded Jeans.

Once the colours were blended, I used my Splatter Tool dipped in Frost White Shimmer Paint and then in water to create the sky.

For my Nativity scene, the die I used comes as border. So, a few snips here and there and add my Sahara Sand dune to create my layered scene with lots of dimensionals between the layers.

The Gold Foil stars were from the Silent Night Dies from Creative Expressions. The North Star was snipped from the largest die in the set.

To finish the card, I used a Gold Foil mat followed by a Stitched Cherry Cobber mat.
