This is the card I made:
I really wanted to use the Star of Bethlehem in an urban skyline: a sort of "modern Christmas", with city lights and little snowflakes.
I started by creating my own background (as usual, I know): I picked a piece of watercolor paper and I sponged it with a couple of Distress Inks (Broken China, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire). Broken China was the first one: I applied it in the center of the paper, where I planned to stamp the Star of Bethlehem. Then I added the Salty Ocean and the Chipped Sapphire with circular motions.
Ho avuto subito l'idea di utilizzare il timbro Star of Bethlehem in uno scenario urbano: una sorta di "Natale moderno", con le luci della città e i fiocchi di neve.
Ho cominciato, come sempre, creando il mio sfondo: ho preso un foglio acquarellabile e vi ho applicato un paio di Distress Inks (Broken China, Salty Ocean e Chipped Sapphire). Broken China è stato il primo: l'ho concentrato nella parte centrale del foglio, dove avevo stabilito di stampare la Stella di Betlemme. Poi ho aggiunto Salty Ocean e Chipped Sapphire sempre con movimenti circolari.

Poi ho aggiunto Salty Ocean e Chipped Sapphire sempre con movimenti circolari.
At this point I used my die from Marianne Design and I die cut the skyline twice: the first time on black cardstock and the second time on yellow cardstock. The (mad!) idea was to add all the yellow windows on the black skyline one by one.
A questo punto ho utilizzato una fustella della Marianne Design e ho tagliato la veduta urbana due volte: la prima su del cartoncino nero e la seconda su del cartoncino giallo. La (pazza!) idea è stata di aggiungere tutte le finestrelle allo skyline, una per una.
Before adhering them, I stamped the Star of Bethlehem on my night sky and the Simple Christmas sentiment onto the black skyline using Versamark Ink and heat embossing them with some white embossing powder.
Prima di incollare il tutto, però, ho stampato la Stella di Betlemme sullo sfondo distressato e l'augurio Simple Christmas sullo skyline nero, usando del Versamark Ink e embossandolo a caldo con della polvere da embossing bianca.
Finally I sticked the skyline with some regular adhesive and then all these teeny tiny windows. Yeah, be patient! At the very end I added some little snowflakes in the sky using a white gel pen.
Some close-ups:
I hope you liked my card...and this is the special news: Free Shipping on all orders over $25 (from now until November 5th)! Visit So Suzy Stamps shop!
Infine ho incollato lo skyline e poi, come anticipato, tutte le piccole finestrelle. Eh sì, bisogna essere pazienti! Ho aggiunto qualche piccolo fiocco di neve nel cielo utilizzando una penna bianca.
Spero che la mia card vi sia piaciuta...e questa è un'altra notizia speciale: spedizione gratis su tutti gli ordini sopra i $25 (da oggi fino al 5 novembre)! Fate un giro nel negozio online di So Suzy!
