Whiff of Joy – Let Us Adore Him Store Stamp Kit

Hi there everyone and hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far. Today I’d like to show you a card that I’ve made using one of the gorgeous new images from the Let Us Adore Him Store Stamp Kit from Whiff of Joy.

Here is one of the Three Wise Men that I’ve used and I’ve coloured him using my AquaMarker pens from Letraset. I’ve also inked the edges using the colour Sepia AquaMarker and a sponge.

The DP that I’ve used is from an old DCWV Christmas Stack that I’ve had for a couple of years now and I’ve distressed the edges.

The poinsettia flower I made myself using the Poinsettia die from Spellbinders and the star is made out of grungeboard and I’ve embossed it using Gold Glitter Embossing Powder.

The sentiment is also from the Let Us Adore Him kit and I’ve used the frame stamp from the sentiment collection from Whiff of Joy along with the co-ordinating die cut.

 

Challenges that I’m entering this card into are :-

Friday Sketchers – Sketch

Hope you enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
