Hi Everyone!
I'm here today with another card that uses an image from I Brake for Digis. I have really been into Christmas cards that have an non traditional color scheme this year. There is something about not using red and green that makes them stand out to me.
This stamp is called Bethlehem and I colored it with Copics and added some Stickles to the star. I played off the little stars in the image, which were only black dots, and I poked holes around my edges of my background paper. My husband said that doing it gave it a middle eastern flair. I don't know if that is true, but I like it :)
The sentiment was a dollar stamp from a sale bin, but it had little black stars on it, so I paired it with this for that reason too. For me, making this card was a nice reminder that there is more to the season we are in than just being overwhelmed with a to do list and lots of shopping ;)

Oh its just lovely Karin, no wonder you love it. That sentiment is such a gorgeous text.
You're a master of the non-traditional colors! Your hole-y background is perfect and your sponging is awesome!
Hello Karin,
I love that card. And those holes in the backing paper, what a nice accent.
I hope you can make your dream of visiting a German Christkindlmarket come true. It's something unique, specially in Bavaria. And when it is snowing then it's like a fairytale.
Thanks for each of your reactions on my blog.
Greetings,
Karin
