Star of Bethlehem Christmas Card

I'm sharing this one layer Christmas card with ink blending and masking featuring the "Unto Us" stamp set from Erin Lee Creative. When I saw this set from the new release, which reminds me so much of a continuous line drawing, well....I had to have it! Plus, I absolutely love making scripture Christmas cards.



(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)



 

I started by stamping my image on an A2 size card panel using my Misti stamp positioner. Leaving my stamp in place, I then laid down a wide strip of my Mint tape. It's a slightly tacky tape that's repositionable, and you can cut stamped images on it for masking.

I trimmed as much as I could with my scissors and lined it back over my stamped card panel.  There's a spot in the very middle near the shepard's staff that needed removing though, so I grabbed my craft knife and gently trimmed that section out. The mint tape is very thin so if you don't apply too much pressure trimming, it shouldn't cut your card panel.









Next, I ink blended my scene with 4 different distress Ranger Inks; Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, Kitsch Flamingo and Prize Ribbon.

Once finished, I peeled  of my masking tape.





I used a variety of gray and brown/tan Copic Markers to color my shepards and orange/yellow for my fire. I also drew out and filled in some black below the scene and another strip below that to create a rocky, sand-like base. Basically, I'm experimenting! But I do like the look.


I stamped my scripture sentiment next. There are 2 scripture sentiments included in the Unto Us stamp set. Lastly, I heat embossed the star included in this set, then dotted lots of stars with acrylic white paint and some Stickles glitter glue. I even painted in a few comets, dipping the sharp end of my weeding tool into the paint and swiping onto my sky.




I also used my white gel pen to make some dots around my fire flame and logs to represent sparks.

I appreciate you stopping by and if you'd like more information on the products used today or would like to shop, I have convenient affiliate links provided to you below, at no additional cost. 

I hope you have a wonder holiday season!
