Christmas Card Club Challenge #20 - Turkeys, Camels or Sheep!

Hi Crafters,

It's time to share my Christmas Card Club project and this week Rachel has given us an interesting challenge this time of...

TURKEYS, CAMELS OR SHEEP

As I don't own any turkey or sheep stamps I went with Camels!

I have created four cards this time, very clean and simple designs just using an embossing folder for the frame, inking through a circle aperture with Distress Inks and stamping this lovely three wise men and camel stamp from Woodware called Nativity Silhouette. The sentiment is from the same set.


Here's a closer view of one card, the embossing shows up better in this photo.


The little star is a two-part Lea'bilities Die and was so fiddly to cut out and use but looks really good I think.

What a beautiful, glowing set of cards. Love that EF and such a pretty scene you've created through the circle. The dark blue of the background really makes the silhouette stand out so well, and love the wonderful glow of the moon behind the dimensional star. TFS &Hugs
