Joy to the world

That's my first Christmas card made! I was delighted that the Less is More challenge for this week is to make a one layer card Christmas card as I like to start making my Christmas cards early. I am also going to enter this card into the CAS Christmas challenge where the theme is nativity.



I often use the masking technique to make one layer cards. For this design I made a circle mask from thin card and inked through the mask with distress inks to make the background. The stamps were inked and then clear embossed.



Materials used:-
Nativity stamp - Clarity stamps
Sentiment - Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 142
Distress inks - Broken China and Shaded Lilac
Black ink - Versafine Onyx Black

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