For the eight card of my Christmas card series I decided to do yet another Distress ink blending combination together with a starry sky, for which I used a stencil and an embossing paste. This card was inspired by another card I made, with different colour combination and instead of a starry sky I created a snowy sky. You can see that card here. I started by blending the inks. The card stock I used is the Canson XL watercolour paper and the inks are: - Pine Needles - Lucky Clover - Cracked Pistachio Originally I started with the lightest ink (Cracked Pistachio), but as the colour was hardly visible, I moved on to the darkest colour, which is the Pine Needles, then Lucky Clover and the Cracked Pistachio. And as I was blending I was creating an arch. After the piece was dry I worked on the starry sky. I put the stencil over the panel and before I applied the embossing paste, I measured where the sentiment will be as I didn't want any stars in that area. To make sure that I don't apply any embossing paste over those stars, I covered them with a washi tape. I used the washi to secure the stencil, so it doesn't move and then I applied the embossing paste over it. The stencil is from Simon Says Stamp and the embossing paste is from Altenew. I let the texture paste dry and then I worked on the greeting. I still have a few die-cut letters that I die-cut in Germany, where my die-cutting machine currently is and I assembled the word Merry. Sadly I only had letters for one layer, these type of greetings are always greater when you stuck more die-cuts on top of each other, but then this card suppose to be very simple. So the letters are attached evenly and in a straight line I used the lines on my crafting mat and I attached a washi over the letters. This way they will not move around. Using a glue pen, I applied a glue over the back of the letters and as the letters are attached to the washi I flipped them over and adhered them onto the panel. The word Christmas I heat embossed in white on a black card stock and made it into a banner that I adhered over the last two letters, using a double-sided squares. To add little bit of sparkle to the letters I used the Wink Of Stella glitter pen and lastly I adhered the panel on top of a white card base.
