Love Joy Peace
Hello! Welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. This week I am back crafting again, as I have finally finished writing school reports. What a relief! Hopefully I can now catch up on my Google Reader list and work on being a friendlier blogger!
I love this week’s sketch. The Belles have all used the stamp set Christmas Scene Baubles – but you don’t have to. I masked off the hills and got very inky with Distress Inks. I then lightly spritzed with water to create the stars. I love how this worked out. I then masked off the top section and inked the bottom with Black Soot Distress Ink.
Supplies
Ink: Distress Inks – Black Soot, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick, Barn Door, VersaFine – Onyx Black
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps Smooth White card stock
Other Supplies: Distress Markers – Black Soot, Ranger water spritzer with water, Blending tool
Don’t forget, this week’s Deal of the Week (which starts on Friday and will run until the following Friday) is the Christmas Scene Baubles stamp set which is 20% off for one week. Head to the ABS site for more details.
This week’s winner will receive a $10 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store.

Oh Marion… I love your blended background! It’s so rich!
Totally LOVE your blended ‘splashed’ background, it’s amazing Marion! I’m so glad to hear that you have finished the reports, I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult your job is…..
Perfect!
Wow! What a stunning card, Marion! The water sprtizing is perfect–it really has the star effect. Glad you finished the reports and have a chance to get crafty again.
OH my, Marion – this is beautiful! The inking alone is stunning but the whole thing together is fantastic 🙂
Oh wow look at that background!!! It’s stunning!
All I can say is…’WOW’ what a truly STUNNING card!!!
