I'm submitting this card to the new Time Out Challenge - TOC#27 where the team would like us to make a CAS card with black, white and an optional splash of colour. I'm also playing along with Jingle Belles - JB:15:06 where the ladies would like us to use embossing. I think this image is just super (it's an old one and I can't remember the name of the set) and really suggests a "silent night". I stamped it in Versafine and heat embossed with clear powder - love the shine. I added a touch of colour to the houses with shades of grey and the splash of colour is the yellow light shining in the windows. I layered the image on to yellow card, using some dimensional tape for dimension. I also added a touch of sparkle to suggest the snow (see picture below). I finished the front with a simple sentiment. On the inside I cut a mat layer of yellow card and added a Christmas greeting.
Here's the close-up of the houses - you can see the shimmer of the "snow" - just love that Wink of Stella clear brush!!
Edited: I've just seen that this week's Just Us Girls - JUGS#285 has a colour challenge of black, white and one other colour - how lucky am I? I'm off to submit there too.
For more inspiration with our theme of "Silent Night" check out the cards from the rest of the Design Team - all so different. I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations! Have fun! Before I go, I thought I'd share a video of Winchester Cathedral Choir singing Silent Night - so beautiful:
these houses really represent the challenge theme - love your card

ReplyDeleteYour snowy nighttime scene turned out simply lovely! The CAS layout perfectly showcases the image.
ReplyDeleteLove your card this week, Deborah. That image is perfect for the theme and looks great in the black, white and gold. I know what you mean about the hush in the night after snowfall, but sadly we have had little snow here in the UK for the last few winters.
