For Unto Us A Child Is Born


Hello friends and Happy Holidays!  Today I have a sweet Nativity Scene featuring my favorite Gnomes from Trinity Stamps.  There are so many little friends between the Gnometivity and Glad Tidings Stamp Sets, that I needed to make an A7 card.  I don't make very many of those because they have so much area to cover.  However, I colored all the friends, but wasn't able to fit the Three Kings in the scene, so let's pretend they are still following the star.

For the background on this card, I used Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink for the ground and Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink for the sky.  I spattered the sky with a little Metallic Silver Watercolor.  

My friends are all colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

  • B01, B24, B25, E41, E42 - Mary
  • B000, B00, B01, E41, E42, Y11 - Baby Jesus
  • YG03, G94, Y21, Y23, Y24 - Joseph
  • R02, R24, R29, Y21, Y23, YR21 - Shepard
  • E23, E27, E37 - Shoes, Mittens, Camel
  • E00, E11 - Gnome Noses
  • C00, C0, C1 - Beards
  • C1, C3, C5 - Donkey
  • E97, E99, E08, E09 - Stable
I used a sentiment that is included in the stamp set.  I heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  

This is just the perfect card for one of my family members, I can't wait to send it to them.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying a lovely holiday season.

Sandy
