LIST: Colours (persimmon, yellow, blue, gold. white), Techniques (die cutting) Elements (nativity scene with circle around, pine trees, script die cut sentiment, shooting star, interesting background)
INCLUDE: persimmon, yellow, blue, white, nativity scene with circle, interesting (if I do say so myself!) background
MODIFY: stencil technique, added Joseph, embossed and inkblended frame, stamped sentiment, my star is not 'shooting'
EXCLUDE: pine trees
SPIN: square card
The non-traditional, but rich colours of this Christmas card really caught my eye. And the name of the colour - persimmon - it just sounds nice, doesn't it? lol!
I used a new layering stencil set from Concord &9 and then layered on some radiating glow by using some masking stencils and added a sentiment from Waffle Flower. I used a smaller circle stencil to create a glow around Baby Jesus. I spritzed the panel with shimmer spray - this adds shimmer and a velvety finish to the cardstock.
For my persimmon frame, I inkblended yellow, orange and red onto it, then embossed it with an embossing folder and spritzed shimmer spray and then splattered some gold watercolour on it.

Oh WOW, Ardyth! I absolutely LOVE both your inspiration piece and where you took it. So non-traditional, yet so stunning. I love how you created your circular radiance over you bold and beautiful nativity.
