O Little Town of Bethelem

Hi there everyone, here is a card I made today to enter into the Jinglebells challenge - O little Town of Bethelem, http://jinglebellsrock.blogspot.com/2016/09/o-little-town-of-bethelem.html I used plain white cardstock from Quill, and sprayed a Dylusions Ink Spray - London Blue - onto an acrylic block with plain water and pressed my card onto it and it made a nice blue sky,   I die cut "Townscape" with Tim Holtz "On the Edge" die in black card, and thought it was a bit too dark, so I used White gel pen to outline the little house, and used Distress Marker "Fossilized Amber" for the windows and then decided the houses needed a bit of colour so I used Distress Marker "Picket Fence" for the background colour and the used the following distress colours for each of the houses: Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple, Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron,  and Abandon Coral, which I was happy with the dimension of the houses.I then cut out a yellow star from a scrap of yellow cardstock with a die from Mpres star set of dies, there are 6 sizes in this pack. and I then stamped Santa in his sleigh and with reindeer with Ranger Archival ink pad with a stamp I have had for ages from Kaiserraft  'Tis the Season" Hope you all like this card and thanks so much for your visit today, and as always your comments are always gratefully received, Jasann
