Here's a card that I created for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge 152. #FMS152

I used a new stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2014 Holiday Catalog called, The Newborn King.

For this card I used:
Paper- Whisper White card stock, Marina Mist card stock, Night of Navy card stock, Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum
Stamp Set- The Newborn King
Ink- White Craft ink, Silver Encore
Other- Silver Baker's Twine, Oval Framelits collection, White Stampin' Embossing powder, Big Shot, Heat tool, Dimensionals, Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

*My tip for this card: The next larger size oval framelit from the size that I used to cut the nativity out, was too big. It overwhelmed the oval art piece so I used the same framelit that I cut the nativity with and traced around the OUTSIDE perimeter of the framelit onto the Whisper white paper to get the size that was just right for this piece. Before I matted the white under the art piece, I sponged Silver Encore ink around the edges. I also randomly sponged some Encore Silver ink onto the embossed stars. Hope that helps you recreate the card.

Have a Blessed Day!
Trude

  1. Very pretty! I love how you've cropped the stamped image into an oval shape. And I love the star background with this. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
