Nativity

Hello crafty friends. I cannot believe it's been almost a month since my last post. I have been colouring and crafting, but was not in the mood to post anything. However, I really wanted to play along with some challenges, so I am now posting a card that I created today.


I used distress inks (antique linen, scattered straw and speckled egg) and my Tailored Expressions  blender brushes to create a background and then stamped the scene in Versafine black ink. The stamps are from a large NBUS set that came with a UK magazine (Creative Stamping #77) including sentiments by Phill Martin.

I'm playing at:

CAS Christmas - Nativity 


LIM - #424 OLC Christmas in July


NBUS - #16 Anything goes with NBUS


ABC Christmas - N for No fuss

AAA Cards - #170 Maxi white space
