Sounds of the Season – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on December 14, 2024December 15, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by the sounds of the season. I have been inspired by the Christmas carol – Oh, little Town of Bethlehem – and have made an essentially monochromatic card using the Shepherd’s Care stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the sounds of the season card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gold Foil – 5½” by 3¾”
Early Espresso card – 5¼” by 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

The image of the shepherd with lambs was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel of Season of Elegance dsp. I added the village using the same ink.

A sprinkling of tiny stars were added using the same ink and embossed with the same powder.

I used the Ivory and Crumb Cake Blends Pens to colour in the shepherd’s head dress and added a little Boho Blue to colour the belt and the head band.
