Christmas Star

Hello Everyone and Welcome!

Today Ksenija is here, and I am happy to share with you a new project dedicated to Holidays Season.

I am featuring several IndigoBlu supplies and demonstrating how to mix Christmas themed stamps with year-round stamps. I love Amaryllis flowers during the Christmas season, I think Colour Me - Lily stamp looks very similar to Amaryllis.

I started with stamping Colour Me - Lily in black Archival ink down to a piece of white card stock and for the second tome - down to masking paper. To create a mask I fussy cut out stamen impression. Prior to masking the stamens I heat embossed black anthers with clear embossing powder three times to make them glossy and a little bit dome-shaped.

I masked out the stamens and generously covered Lily impression with Distress Ink in Candied Apple. To create a more dramatic look I blended in Distress Inks in Aged Mahogany and Blueprint Sketch to the edges. Keeping my mask in place I dropped clear water over the image and towel dried it. Having removed my mask I coloured the stamens with Distress Markers.

I covered a string of stars from Peace on Earth stamp set with FlitterGlu, stamped it down to Lily and adhered MegaFlakes in Chariot of Fire.

The final step is to create a card panel. I splattered water diluted IndigoBlu acrylic paints in GoldFinger and Hunter Green and let it air dry.

After this I inked the string of stars from Peace on Earth stamp set with dye ink in black and stamped it down to the panel. From the same set I used a text stamp and made several impressions in Aged Mahogany and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks.

To assemble the card I glued the panel to a card base and used a foam tape to raise the square with Lily.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope, you enjoy this card and will try to mix Christmas stamps with year-round images.

I am wishing you peace, love and joy at Christmas and always!
