Another Christmas Bauble - Another Christmas Card.

 Good evening All,

Hope you are having a good week, it is nearly the weekend yeah!   I would like to welcome my newest follower, Mia.   Thanks for pressing the 'follow' button Mia, I do hope you enjoy visiting my blog.

Tonight I would like to share another Christmas card with you, which was made for Imagination Craft's One Day Special shows on the Hochanda T.V. Channel on the 3rd. July 2017.   I have used the Large Bauble Merry Christmas stencil.   I have coloured with Starlight paint and then tangled patterns on it using a black fine liner pen.

  
Lay the stencil on a piece of white card which has been covered  with the  Gold shine Sparkle Medium.  When dry, Draw around the bauble shape, then remove the stencil.   Mask off every other stripe on the stencil, using masking tape.   Replace the stencil on the bauble and spread the Black stars Sparkle Medium over the open stripes, using a metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

   
Cut out the bauble and, using a fine liner black pen, doodle some patterns on the stripes which are not covered with the black Sparkle Medium.

   
Lay the stencil on the ivory base card and spread the Black stars Sparkle Medium over the words 'Merry Christmas' using the metal spatula.  Remove stencil and leave image to dry.   Matt a strip of black card approximately two inches by five and a half inches, down the left-hand side of the base card.   Cover some white card with the Gold shine Sparkle Medium and when dry, die-cut two corners, using the Tattered Lace dies from it.   Glue one to the top  and bottom left  corners of the black panel.

   
   
Glue the bauble to the centre of the base card, using silicone glue.   Draw around the hanger on the stencil onto black card, cut out and glue above the bauble.

   
Die-cut the pine branch and the Poinsettia, then paint them with the Starlight Paints.   Glue these to the top right corner of the base card.

   
Stamp the holly onto white card using a black ink pad and paint with the Starlight paints.   Cut out and glue to the top left  of the bauble, using silicone glue.

     
Using silicone glue raises the image up slightly and gives some interest and dimension to your card.

  
That's all from me for tonight my friends as it is getting rather late and my eyes are beginning to close lol! so I'll wish you all a goodnight.   Have a great weekend and I will be back soon.

                                                                  Love and rainbows,

                                                                  Hugs   Jennifer xx.
