I'm happy to be participating in the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Design Team's August Winter/Holiday/Christmas Themed Card making Marathon!
My first card of the month is a Christmas classic!
I chose to begin my Christmas card making with Blue Knight Stamps AWAY IN A MANGER stamp.
I love that this is a large, card front sized stamp and beautifully detailed image.
I opted to color the image with Copics and because the image filled the card front...I also kept it all very CAS (Clean and Simple). I focused on shading and blending colors to get them as I wanted them for each of the scenes elements....
I enjoyed using an assortment of Copics to do the blending, shadowing and shading and to get the hay...manger...Baby Jesus...window frame..stone walls...hay fork....ground....bucket and starlit sky as I wanted them to be.
To finish the card I chose gold and blue metallic card stock from LCI PAPER.
If you love to color, love classic Christmas card images...and love scene cards...the AWAY IN A MANGER stamp is perfect for you!
