Christmas Kickstart #34 - Starry, Starry Night

Hello friends.  The Christmas Kickstart Challenge is back to running their challenges every fortnight (every two weeks) to help us all get our cards done in time for Christmas, and for this challenge they are looking for cards with the theme of Starry, Starry Night.


And here's what I came up with using MFT's Merry Moments...


I started by embossing some gold stars (The Greetery's Pinwheel Party) on a white panel and then blended Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans Distress Inks all over the panel.  Next I splattered some white paint for a little falling snow, and then added the darling image of a Polar Bear and Santa having a little chat!  They were both Copic colored and die cut along with the ice covered mountains.



The sentiment also comes from the Merry Moments stamp set.  So there you have my bear and Santa sitting underneath the starry, starry sky, and I'm pretty tickled with the way this card turned out!  You can head over to the Christmas Kickstart site to see more inspiration and play along.


Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Awesome design Marcia! I love the emboss resist stars with the blue sponging. They really look as though they are floating in the air. Adorable scene you've created with the polar bear and Santa on the piece of ice. So fun! xx
