For my card today, I wanted to use some of the gorgeous new dies from the release; O Holy Night and Holy Stars. Both of these pair so well together!

I die cut the stars from watercolor paper and painted both them and the background with my Daniel Smith and Winsor and Newton watercolors. To make the stars and the background more interesting, I also took some Prima Metallic Accents and added strokes, flecks and splatters. The Metallic Accents have a beautiful shimmer and when the paint catches the light, the shine is incredible!

The sentiment “O Holy Night” is cut from vellum and Tonic Studios’ Mirror Card in Satin Purple Mist. I have loved using the new Mirror cardstock and this purple color brings out the violet hues in the background.

For some final embellishing, I used some Tonic Nuvo Drops in the White Gloss color to create extra “stars” in the background. As a side note, the silver embossed stars you see there as well are from Simon’s Merry and Bright stamp set.
I hope you will be checking out the video below to see how I made the card, including the in-lay die cut background and the watercolor technique! Also remember to hop along with us in the Making Spirits Bright release blog hop! Details can be found below the video.
Thanks for visiting me today! I’ll be back very soon with more ideas to share!

I’m a Catholic so any religious cards are cool with me. I love this one! The background is right on and the huge stars to celebrate the most important birth of all are amazing! They are also yellow, my favorite color. I also love the song Oh Holy Night. This card screams me and I’m guessing it screams you because you made it! Thanks for showing us your card and for giving us the chance to win something. Now I am off to the next stop on the hop.
I never would have thought to use an almost fuchsia kind of purple on that card, but you’re right; it does bring out the purples of the background. I think it especially works as the complement to the yellow stars, but again, I never would have thought to do that. So thank you for such a beautiful idea and that the color wheel is a thing that works! :)
This background is gorgeous! Thanks for the video and inspiration too!
Wow your card is awesome.
So pretty! I love those star and the sentiment and your fun background.

I don’t think I would have thought to use that purple mirrored cardstock on a card like that. It worked out so well! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful card! I love the background.
I love your galaxy background.It looks like so much fun to do.
Beautiful card, your colour combo is fab!
The background on your card is pretty and then you added the die cut sentiment. Wow! Absolutely gorgeous.

The background that you created for these wonderful new dies is fabulous! These were two of my favorite items from this release. Great job on this beautiful card!
what a lovely card… the background is so pretty!
Such a pretty card. I love the metallic touches. I’ve never tried the mirror sheets before – they look cool to die cut with.
Pretty galaxy background you created as a backdrop for these pretty Christmas stars. I need to give this technique a try.
I just love the background. I struggle with galaxies, so I will try this technique and hope it looks half as beautiful as your’s. I haven’t done much die inlay, but I am inspired to try this now too. Thank you for the inspiration, and the beautiful examples.
Take care
Tracy
