Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to visit, I appreciate you calling in.
I recently won a Guest Designer spot at Jan's Digi Stamps. The theme for the challenge this month is Christmas in July. I selected the Silent Night set to use.
All the Christmas stamps sets are on sale this month!!

I chose to use the coloured images as they are so gorgeous,
and selected the star, crib and sentiment -from the set.
The first two images I sized and printed onto white card,
the sentiment I printed onto vellum and gold heat embossed.

I prepared the dark blue background by stencilling some sunrays in gold paint , and then splattering the rest of the card base with the gold. - To divide the background I added a strip of gold washi tape.

The crib I cut out as a rectangle, rounded the lower corners with a punch, then diecut the top with a circle die. I ran gold ink over the edges, and mounted it using foam tape

The sentiment was also edged with gold

This inside was finished with some more of the washi tape.
It was such a privilege to design for this challenge - thank you for the opportunity, Jan and team.

Congrats on the guest spot - and double WOW on this card! So beautiful. I love all the gold but the vellum circle with the gold just tops it off. Gorgeous image and card.
