Crafter's Companion and Penny Black Christmas card and Glitzcraft Nativity stencil Christmas card



Hello everyone and welcome back to a new challenge at:-


We're really rattling through the alphabet now and this time we have


N for No Layers and O for Ornaments.

Here is my no-layers card:-




I masked off a square and inked the background with distress inks. I then placed a nativity stencil from Glitzcraft over the top and inked through with black ink. Once that was dry I added some silver ink to the star and halos then removed the mask. The sentiment came from Paper Smooches.

This is my O for Ornaments:-




I first cut the card aperture with a Crater's Com[panion Merry die and backed the hole with some dotty acetate. I added red paper behind the acetate to add some stability, highlight the dots and give a clean finish inside. The ornaments were made with a Penny Black die set called little ornaments - the back layer was made with red card and the top layer with mirri card. The Christmas sentiment is from a Happy Little Stampers set.

The team has some great inspiration for you over on the ABC Christmas Challenges blog, and you can enter your card over there too.

I'd like to play along at







Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs

I love the stencilled card Carol, it's beautiful and the true meaning of Christmas. I also love your bright and Merry die card. I love the addition of the ornaments. Both gorgeous cards.

Thanks for entering with your second card, Carol. I like how you added the Designpaper behind the cut out. And the ornaments are a perfect touch.
