The group is featuring the OMBRE technique, and I started my card with a ombre background using Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky & Chipped Saphire distress inks. Once I finished with my ink blending, I added a bit of water splatter and white acrylic paint splatter to give the impression of a snowy sky.
I used The Greetery's Twinkle Background Die on my snowy background and then added a piece of silver glitter cs behind it, before attaching to a white card base. I used PTI's Psalm Reflections: July die for my top layer and stamped it with PTI's Reflections: November stamp in black and embossed with clear to make the sentiment shiny and a little more bold. I added foam tape behind this layer before attaching to my card panel for a bit of dimension.
Here's a closer up shot so you can see a bit more of the water and white splatter and the ombre look to the background. I'm loving the sparkle that shines through too to give the card a bit more of a celebratory look! This would have been a quick and easy card except for the fact that I dropped the top layer that I had added the foam tape to and of course it ripped the ombre layer when I tried to remove it...grrrrrrrr! Had to start all over with the ink blending, but hey, accidents happen and I got to spend a bit more time in my happy place, so it was all good!

Love your blue ombre background with the gorgeous design of the twinkling stars with silver glitter. Gorgeous!! Beautiful sentiment to finish it all off! Thanks for sharing with us at Group of Seven!! xx
This is a show stopper, Marcia! I cannot believe how much of the silver glitter shows through the delicate die cut. Your ink blending and splatters make it even more special, and the panel with verse is a moving finish. Hooray for your first Christmas card of the new year!
The perfect sparkly background for your wonderful sentiment! What a special card, Marcia!
