Hi all, Just quickly popping in for WOYWW for Workdesk Wednesday over at Julia's place!
My desk, post is nice and short as Julia likes it:
 |
| Am getting inky here as you can see, it is a mask made with SB largest decoration bauble die, and inking up inside, first with Cloud White chalk ink then added golden glitz to edges and DI inks on centre, in Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, and where star is after inking added Seeded Mustard. Stamp set is unmounted set by Unity Stamp by Itty Bitty, called A child is born 1B-126 about five years ago and particularly like this nativity set, inked in Versmark and Gold embossed with Stampendous fine detail gold EP. |
You can see a very CAS card as over at Stamping Sensations they were calling for one layer cards and this idea popped into my head last night, it took me an hour to make. However it would've been less if hadn't botched the corners.
Had to cover the just inside corners with gold paper to hide that they didn't match through. Should've used corner die not punch, as card is too thick.
The verse is from Isaiah 9:16, and on stamp background of main image it ties in Prince of peace which I really like too. Love cards to reflect real reason of Christmas. This verse from Isaiah is on inside of all my cards this year.

unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given:
and the government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek and chat!
May God bless your day wherever you may be.

Hi, Shaz - we must have been linking at the same time as I was first when I started, ha ha! Love that card, but I couldn't take an hour a card with the number I have left to get done!! it is very stylish though. Thanks for sharing the Aussie shot of the week! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteSuper gorgeous Christmas card. Congrats on #1 - BJ#4
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW and congrats on the No.1 spot. I will get some dies out and try that inking technique. Looks amazing with the gold embossing. I need some of your sunshine. It seems to be dark most of the time here at the moment (and we aren't that far north compared to many!). Really looking forward to getting to Spain in 2 weeks time. Ali x #7
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, thanks for the reminder about one layer cards and using a die to create a stencil. Great tip and so effective. Happy WOYWW Sarah #9
ReplyDeleteAnother delightfully traditional Christmas creation Shaz, the blues and silver within the bauble look really pretty and yes I know the carol, 'For unto us a son is born,unto us a Son is given.............. the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace'.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for joining us again at Allsorts and Stamping Sensations challenges.

What a beautiful card Shaz - love the way you keep Jesus at the centre of Christmas - something I do for all my personal cards, but I have had some commissions that I have had to do without :-(

What a wonderfully creative card! Love it! Bravo you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Shaz..loz
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you, and see that you’re still enjoying a daily view....stunning as usual. Hope you’re doing well. Lovely idea on your desk, that stencilling through a die cut works beautifully. And although you call it a CAS card, my word, there’s still a lot of work in it!
ReplyDeleteWow, that card is gorgeous - it doesn't look like a CAS to me! Beautiful daily view again, we're so lucky to live by the sea eh?

Hi Shaz, a very pretty card for Christmas, love the stamp and inky ornament shape. Congratulations on making a one layer card, I don't think I could make one. Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteYour card looks so elegant!
ReplyDeleteAnd that almost empty beach looks fantastic!

What a beautiful card! And reflecting what Christmas is all about. As always envious of your beach pic, I only live about 30 mins from the sea, but not sure my photos would look as stunning as yours! I'll make the effort to go there before Christmas and share one for you haha Karen #21
ReplyDeleteThe sponged ink is beautifully done and lovely to see your sunny skies.

ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, lovely card. I'm going to use the SB dies to make some more stencils for doing this Bauble sponging. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #18 XxX
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful card you made Shaz, whilst it is cold here I too count my blessing in terms of living in a really beautiful part of our world... Donna 26
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Great idea! Lovely views of the ocean! I enjoy thinking of you going into summer, as we are getting colder and colder - it warms me up! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #27
ReplyDeleteDelightful effect on your card Shaz, very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card Shaz and the photo of the beach is stunning. I love the light. We had more snow last night. Our weather couldn’t be much more different could it?
ReplyDeleteBlessings always, Betsy
How beautiful is the one layer - gorgeous colours!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

So beautiful! I love the idea of the ornament stencil over the image. I may have to try that! Have a great week. Dorlene #28
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and technique
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card, I wouldn’t have known anything was botched if you didn’t say. However, it is good to say sometimes so beginners don’t feel the need to be perfectionist. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Shaz, brilliantly executed card idea. Beautiful photo too, bit different from the weather here in the UK. Have a lovely creative woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a stunning card Sharon! It might be CAS but it looks very complicated. I love the colors and of course I am totally loving the image you used. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, what a lovely card. I too like the nativity scene. It's one of my favourite Christmas cards, as it's what Christmas is all about, the birth of Christ. My visits round workdesks are encouraging me to try new things, which I love. Have a lovely week, Heather #30
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous card...love your beautiful Christmas scene on that wonderful ornament, amazing!
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful,,
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, your finished card is beautiful - lovely colouring technique. As usual I enjoyed your Aussie pic. Thanks for your birthday greetings - I'm not sure how I feel about being 70 yet but I've no option but to get used to it :) Hugs, Elizabeth x #32
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful card Shaz.

Shaz, those are gorgeous alcohol ink cards below this post! Thank you for sharing your beautiful view from your ice cream run. I would just love to see Sustrailia in person. My hubby says I can do that with my next husband! LOL. Oh, well, I can look at your photos. #35
