O’ Holy Night with Twinkling Stars + Video

I’m breaking out my Glimmer System for some hot foiling today! It has been a moment since I played with all of my foils and my lack of practice led me to make an oopsie. Yikes. But I’m here to tell you what went wrong and how it all worked out in the end.

This beautiful new stamp set from Unity Stamp Company inspired me to create a star filled night background to celebrate baby Jesus.

O’ Holy Night Card

I started by stamping this beautiful image of Mary and baby Jesus on watercolor paper. I’m a fan of watercoloring with inks, so I pulled out a few Distress Ink cubes to work with listed below. Then found a wonderful sentiment to match my holy night theme.

Distress Ink: Tattered Rose, Antique Linen, Scattered Straw, Frayed Burlap, Hickory Smoke, Broken China, Dusty Concord

For the background, I used the following Distress Inks for a lovely blend: Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Black Soot. That rich night sky was perfect for the hot foiled stars. I ended up with a bunch of overfoiling that I die cut away. This is a good reminder to always check what type of sandwich you need for your machine.

Thank you for joining me today. I sincerely hope that today’s project inspires you. If you end up creating something, feel free to tag me, @dahlhousedesigns, on social media as I would be thrilled to see it!
