It's time for a new challenge for the Christmas Card Club girls and this time Asha has asked us to make a card based on our favourite festive tune.
I love the carol 'O little town of Bethlehem' although I have to admit that I have lots of other favourites too.
For the background of my card I embossed some creamycoloured shiny card using my eBosser with the 'star of wonder' embossalicious embossing folder by Crafter's Companion, brushing it with some broken china distress ink. This was then mounted on to blue mirror card and then on to a navy blue card blank.
The digital image was from Crafting with Jack. I imported the image into Paint and 'coloured' the background and stars, printed it and then used a couple of Spectrum Noir to colour the trees. Holographic and padded tars and ribbon from stash. Some of the stars look gold here because of the flash reflection, but they are all silver.

Lovely card Hazel. Thank you for joining the challenge at Lollipop Ladies.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Hazel. This is one of my favourite carols too - but I had no image to fit! I love how you have used Paint on your image. This is something I have tried a couple of times - not very successfully I must add - so I will try again because it very clever. Have a good day. Christine xx
