Good morning, it's time for my Monday Visible Image design team make and I am sharing the 2nd of my Christmas samples using the awesome new Christmas stamps which were released on Saturday. They have been so popular and I have so enjoyed making my samples.
Today's makes (yes I made 2 in the end) uses 2 wonderful sets
and
I wanted to showcase both the wonderful houses silhouette and the pine trees stamps. I decided that making 2 cards would do this best.
So first up is how I made my "town" card. I stamped with black Versafine and clear embossed the sleigh and the search the skies sentiment from the 2nd set. I stamped the moon around Santa using Versafine Clair morning mist ( a grey ink). I then sprinkled on some "In the Navy" PaperArtsy Infusions and added some water until I was happy with the background. I then dried it off.

I repeat stamped the houses across the bottom of the background in Versafine Clair Morning mist first, then Paradise then Nocturne overlapping each layer.
I added the little stars using gold ink. I also added some Frantage.
This is my finished Town Christmas eve card.
with a close up showing the Frantage.
For the country version I used the same techniques but on a very different background made using the below ingredients.
I embossed the stars in white glitter and the trees I repeat stamped using the same Versafine Clair colours as my town card. I used the same sentiment as it goes so well with Santa in his sleigh.
I added the large star in gold to this card which is in the Sentimental Christmas set.
Here it is.
I really love these 2 stamp sets. There are lots of other sentiments in the Sentimental Christmas set which are beautiful and useful too. I have made a set of 4 cards using them which I will share at some point.
