Starry Sky Christmas Card

 

Here's a starry sky Christmas card for three challenges.

First, it's for the sketch at the Hand Stamped Sentiments#428 here.

Second, the colors are for the Color Throwdown#772 here. The colors to use are aqua, cobalt blue and gold. I went with Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky and gold.

Finally, it's for As You See It#313 here. It's a Speed Stamping Theme challenge of stars. After I gathered all my supplies, I finished this card is 9 minutes and 53 seconds, whew! The longest part was blending the colors. I speeded things up too by using my Heat Tool to dry the splatters of white ink that I used to create the starry sky.

Brightest Glow is the stamp set.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Brightest Glow

Papers: White, Gold Foil sheets, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide

Inks: Versamark, White Craft, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide

Accessories: Deckled Circles dies, Elegant Trim, Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Blending Brushes, Water painters, Stampin dimensionals

Beautiful card Jennie! I can't believe you made it that quickly! This would be a great card to mass produce and send for Christmas. The pop of gold is stunning on the bold blue colors. Thank you for joining the hand stamped sentiments challenge this week!
