Week 7 of 12 weeks of Christmas - Great Tidings meets smooching technique

Welcome to Week 7 of my 12 weeks of Christmas Cards. This week's card is one of the cards that we made at Belair Creative Cards in October.

This project was so fun to make!! The base is basic white and has a layer of misty moonlight. It has a "window" cut out of the top using the Wise Men Tidings". It's such a beautiful, eyecatching window which is useful for lots of different techniques. The layer behind it is a piece of vellum and is inked using the smooching technique. Use a new acrylic cutting plate from the Cut and Emboss die machine. You can also use a glass cutting mat, a large clear block (which is larger than your piece of card) or a plate from your Stamparatus. Use your stamp pad and ink directly to the plate. I have used misty moonlight, Bermuda Bay, pacific point, pool party and gorgeous grape. Spray with water using a Stampin' Spritzer. Spray until the colours blend and lines disappear. Now spray with some Isocol and the colour will bead. Place your vellum on top of the colour, making sure that the entire piece is inked. The vellum will curl, Dry with a heat gun, this will help straighten it out. Attach to the back of the "window" and this gives you a pretty evening sky. Die cut the Wise Men and colour with blends. The sentiment is stamped in watermark and embossed with white embossing powder.
