Joy to the world

I really like silhouette Christmas cards so I was delighted to see Cornelia Wenokor's card on Muse Christmas Visions this week.  I was inspired by the ombre effect she created and tried to replicate this by blending distress inks.  I also liked the moon and the stars.

I am also going to enter this card into the Merry Monday Christmas challenge #197 which is entitled "Take me to the church"!  There are quite a few churches on my card.



           



















Materials used:-
Stamps - Winter Wonderland set from Simply Cards and Papercraft issue 142
Distress inks - shaded lilac, dusty concord, picked raspberry, ripe persimmon, mustard seed
Stars cut out with Paper Smooches dies
Glitter paper from stash

Thanks for visiting my blog - I really appreciate your comments. Margaret

    I love your use of colour... Especially on your peace on earth card... What a lovely effect. I fancy having a go at that myself. I am not very confident with stamps and ink so I should go practice... Your have certainly been an inspiration. Thank you
