Sounds of the Season – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

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.

The large star was stamped using Versamark ink above the village image. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it.

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.

The whole panel was then added to the Basic Beige card front. On looking at the card again it would also work for – While Shepherd’s watch their Folks By Night.

I thought it weird that the shepherd wasn’t looking at anything so added the image of the village in the distance.

The large star and the scattering of smaller stars were stamped in Daffodil Delight ink.  Using a Blending Brush I added Misty Moonlight ink all around the edges of the panel.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Peaceful Seasons stamp set in Night of Navy ink at the bottom of the panel and sadly managed not to stamp it straight………so I stamped it again on scrap Basic White card which I then die cut using the Greetings of the Season Dies.

I inked around the edges of the die cut greeting and adhered the die cut to the stamped panel trimming off the excess.

The decorated panel was then glued to the Daffodil Delight layer which was then mounted onto the Night of Navy card front on Dimensionals.
