Holly Night

Hi!

It' s Anja again with the Sunday post. December is here and the lights are already up all around our city. I still have a lot of work to do before Christmas. I have to buy and make some more gifts and I have to make some more Christmas cards. Every year I try to make some with Nativity motive. This year I'm using the new Cottage Cutz Away in a Manger die for my Nativity cards.

For this card I used:
 - Cottage Cutz dies (Away in a Manger),
- Distress Inks (Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Broken China),
- white card base (10,5x15 cm),
- white card stock for background (10x14,5c, and 9,5x14 cm) and die cuts,
- white pen,
- Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen,
- paper glue.

First I made the background. I colored the edges of the bigger rectangle with black Distress Ink. I only colored around the edges, because the middle of the paper wont be seen.

Then I used Distress Inks to make a night sky. I started in the middle with Broken China and then went to the edges with darker shades. I colored around the edges with black Distress Ink. Then I spritzed it with water drops.

I cut the silhouette of the Holly Family and colored it with black.

Afterward I put some glitter all over the silhouette to give it a little more interest.

I glued the background on the card base and this time I used white pen to make a few stars onto the night sky.

On top of the background I glued the silhouette. And that is my finished card.

Have a nice Sunday and a pleasent week ahead.
