Our talented Designer, Marcia, is hosting the challenge this month, and she chose Nativity as the theme. We have Jane (Purplejet Loves Crafts) as Guest Designer.
I didn't have any nativity stamps or dies, so this was a great opportunity to get one! 😉 I found cool die cut-outs at an Etsy shop and made this card:
[How I made this card]
1. Sponged the bottom left corner of the card base with white and yellow pigment ink.
2. Die-cut a thin frame and glued it onto the card base.
3. Glued the three wise men die cut-outs.
4. Added stars to the sky with Stickles.
The card front was pretty full, so I didn't add a sentiment.
I hope you enjoy making your Nativity scene card and share it with us in the gallery. You have until July 24th.
Paper: Not Quite Navy (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Pigment Ink (Unicorn White - Hero Arts), Distress Oxide Ink (Squeezed Lemonade - Ranger)

Love this card, Hideko!! Your three Wise Men look amazing on the blue card with the glow coming from the corner!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty in blue and white Hideko - I'm glad you mentioned the glow coming in from the corner - I might have thought it was just a glare - but it is the glow of Jesus that that wise men are bowing to- a very creative design and I love the graphic look of the die cut wise men. A beautiful card for Marcia's challenge!
ReplyDeleteYour card is amazing Hideko!! Your die cut wisemen are SO cool looking and I just love how you blended a bit of white and yellow in the corner as a nod to the glow coming from sweet baby Jesus! Lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. 😊
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Hideko. Such a cool die. So simple with wonderful attention to detail... would have never thought to add that “glow” in the corner!
ReplyDeleteLove your use of the navy cardstock and the way you lightened up the bottom corner. Love the three wise men die cuts - a great find! Simple but effective embellishment with the Stickles.
ReplyDeletewow, love those stylized wise men and the glow in the corner is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design to show off those fabulous wise men, Hideko. Love the soft colour blend. The stars are the perfect finishing touch. Great work! xx
ReplyDeleteYour card with Three Kings is truly a gift, Hideko... perfection!
ReplyDelete=]
What wonderful die cuts, Hideko! I love that they are bowing to the baby Jesus! The soft glow in the bottom corner is a brilliant idea (no pun intended) and the Stickles make a perfect starry sky! An awesome card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteStunning Hideko and so contemporary and I love it x.
ReplyDeleteHideko, such a pretty card and love how the Wisemen are heading to the glow. Beautifully sponged too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful take on the prompt, Hideko! Your wise men are so striking against the solid background and I love how they are headed toward the light in Bethlehem...a really lovely Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteI thought you had sponged all the color on your card front, but reading your description you actually only sponged on the lower left corner over your Night of Navy cardstock...how cool! Love your die cut Wisemen and added stickle stars, Hideko. Adding the thin die cut frame brought your images all together, perfectly! TFS your beauty, my friend. Stay safe and Creative. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteHideko, your card is amazing...those Wisemen are a fabulous die, WOW, and I love how you have lit the way up for them!
