WARM HUGS

BTW, how the heck did we get to December so soon? Last week I commented on a stamp set that I have that has several small holiday images - this is the second one from the set from Hero Arts (#CM386 "From the Vault - Winter Joy"). I'm joining Inkspirational's Mood Board, where at the bottom right part of the board is a little village of houses with a black sky and stars. There are so many appealing images in this mood board that I may have to enter this challenge more than once! 


This card is a bit more complex than it appears at first glance. I started it by stamping the image twice - once on black with white heat embossing and once on white with black ink. I colored the white image with Copics, fussy cut it, and glued it over the black sky and tree. Then I die cut a small scrap of white cardstock with a stitched "cloud" outline and stamped the sentiment with PTI "Fresh Linen", glued it to the black stock, and die cut all of the layers with a small stitched rectangular die. I die cut a white cardstock panel with a larger stitched rectangle and then die cut a stitched opening in it. I used an embossing folder to emboss the snow and assembled all of the layers onto a black card base. I wanted a bit of sparkle, so added three rhinestones to the stars in the sky.







 And because I haven't used this particular stamped image before, I'm also sharing it with NBUS:
