A Child is Born

Do you love simple line art images? When I first saw the A Child is Born Stamp set (165833)

I love the sentiments and images but wasn’t sure about the faces. While today’s cards don’t show it the solution is simple, use your Stampin’ Write Marker and add them! A simple little crescent drawn on made me happy.

Check out today’s cards and see what you think? This set with it’s simple line art is perfect for monochromatic cards like these. But of course they are great for a quick watercolor wash to add color too. That’s the great thing about stamping, right? Our ability to make it our own!

This first card uses Silver Embossing Powder on a mat of Misty Moonlight card stock.

The Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2″ Ribbon (165931) and Rhinestones Basic Jewels (144220) add a bit of shine and elegance to the card.

This next card steps that shine with a bit of glimmer paper found in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (165929) pack.

A back drop of stars on the Secret Sea backdrop is one of the patterns from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (165917). Giving us the feel of night for this special day.

So what do you think? Which camp are you in? I find that you either want faces or not.
