Christmas card - town scene in a bell jar

The thing is that I have projects to show but I have no time to blog about them. Right now I have found some time to write a short tutorial of this card.



The basic if this card is a black folded card because the black looks great with the red. 

The second layer is red cardstock and I stamped one of the background stamps from the Stripes&Holiday stamp set (Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz). For this, I used the Ranger Archival Jet Black ink.

I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink.

For the Christmas town scene, first of all, I used the Sizzix Bigz, Bell Jar die. The top was cut out from 300gsm watercolour paper. The bottom from kraft paper. The bottom was inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

The upper part of the top was inked with Stormy Sky Distress ink. Then I cut out the elements of my scene from Core'dinations Kraft Core papers. 

For the scene, I used: Sizzix Thinlits Snowglobe, Tiny Snowglobes and Festive Things dies.

For the big stars, I used the Sizzix Bigz, Crescent Moon die.

For the little stars, I used the Sizzix Thinlits, Snowglobe die.

All the stars were cut out from Metallic Kraft paper by Tim Holtz.


I hope you like it!!! Thank you for stopping by!!!
