I am envisioning last minute shopping and snow falling...wait...I am not in Montreal anymore...hahaha. No snow falling on Christmas Eve in Austin, but one can imagine.
I used two NBUS items on my card today! My starry background is a brand new to me Hero Arts background stamp. It was stamped in white pigment ink over my dried sponged card front. The cityscape scene was created with a new Paper Smooches Wise Die Super 2. I die cut the buildings in a textured grey CS and then again in fun foam to stamp the back buildings in grey to create some depth. I lined the back of the CS buildings with yellow vellum for some "left on light" office windows. The sentiment is an old SU from about 10 years ago and I still love the font. It was heat embossed with Ranger white EP. My trio of little hearts are PTI and after stamping in red, I went over with a gel pen for a little shine and dimension. The card was trimmed down 1/8" all sides and adhered to a grey panel.
So, what kind of a starry Christmas night do you see/envision?
Are you a little bit country or big city?
I look forward to seeing what you come up with this week!
My background stamp and city buildings die are NBUS!
I love how you have no Christmas product here (except the sentiment) but it's still so Christmassy! Can't wait to see how everyone's inspired this week!

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I love the scene you've created and I'm so ready for Christmas now after seeing your card! I had to pop over after seeing your thumbnail on Darnell's NBUS challenge! I'm more of a little bit country Christmas, but I get a bit of both with working in the city and living in the country.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the combination of that background with the cityscape dies!
ReplyDeleteChriss!! How did this get by me? Something so ethereal about this card, Chriss ... a very beautiful starry starry Christmas night! You'll undoubtedly hear all about my snow ... hopefully later, than sooner!!! Thinking cap on!

ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas card with a neat sentiment. The cityscape die makes for a nice card.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Love the way you stamped behind the diecut city scape!
ReplyDeleteWow, Chriss ... this is gorgeous! Fabulous city scene ... a stunning night sky ... lovely shimmery stars and sentiment ... love that little cluster of sweet hearts! Hugs, Anita :)
