Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas Challenge, and Marcia has chosen Nativity as the theme.
This could be the wise men, the nativity scene, or even the farm animals.
The design team and our guest designer Jane have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
This is a new to me stamp of the three kings. It's a Lavinia stamp, so has lots of fine detail.
I stamped it in versafine clair nocturne, clear embossed it, then blended on some oxide inks as a sunset background.
The sentiment is by Annabelle Stamps, sadly, long retired.
Supplies:
Stamps: Lavinia- Three Kings ; Annabelle Stamps - Gifted Swirls;
Other: Versafine Clair ink, clear ep; distress oxide ink; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Beautiful Wise Men image and I love your shading behind!!
Gorgeous sunset nativity card, Cathy! The ink blended sky and the sun are stunning! Adding the thin light gray frame is a really nice touch, giving a softer and warmer impression.

Wow! I love how the glow of the setting sun penetrates the streaks in the dunes. It really looks so innovative. A completely different view on this scene. Thank you for the great inspiration, Kathy
