Get
ready for an amazing week of Awesome in Autumn! This week we are
playing with the Quietfire Design team, and are so excited to play with
their amazing images and sentiments. In their beautiful calligraphic
style, their quotes and thoughts are the perfect addition to our
Dreamweaver designs. Follow along with us, and leave your comments for
an opportunity to win one of two wonderful prize packages:

| Nativity stencil (LL554) and Quietfire Blessed Season (5694) |
The nativity scene stencil (LL554) was used with the ink transfer technique. This involves spraying the actual stencil, and then setting it onto a clean paper towel face up. To do this I placed it onto a clean paper towel (this gives the excess spray somewhere to be absorbed.) Then I used Blue Lagoon colored Memories Mist (MM20) and sprayed two or three times onto the stencil and then used Stormy Water colored Memories Mist (MM13)...I used less of this darker color because it has a tendency to take over the coloring process because of the strength of the pigment color. Now pick up the sprayed stencil and lay it onto another clean paper towel with the sprayed side facing toward the ceiling. Now you will place glossy cardstock over the sprayed stencil, smoothing the back of the paper with your hand and pull it off of the stencil. The results are the smeared image you see behind the nativity that has an ethereal look. While this background area is drying I cleaned the stencil with a dry paper towel and repositioned it and aligned it onto the now dry background and paste-embossed it with Glossy White Embossing Paste (DGWP). Remove the stencil and sprinkle the wet paste with an ultrafine transparent glitter called Glacier (#211) from Art Glitter. Place it onto a warm place to dry...this will take at least 30 minutes.

I really need to play with this technique more. I love how this turned out!
Yet another idea for these stencils! I'm being so inspired this week, it's lovely - thanks.
the ink and glossy paper work nicely. Have a great day
Just beautiful Lynell...the blue is gorgeous!
A pure and simply lovely Christmas design.
Beautiful, majestic card - love it, Lynell. I'd love to know what you used for the blue background on the outside of the card - and did you do that before or after you did the nativity scene. I'm guessing before, but not sure. Thanks!
Beautiful card....love the sentiment stamped on the ribbon...very clever!
Beautiful and elegant.
What a beautiful card!
This is a lovely Christmas card.
I like the glitter! Thanks.
Love the sky over the nativity scene. Wondrous card.

I described the process for the sky over the nativity in detail and went back and added more detail a bit ago. It is a technique called Ink Transfer and is done with Memories Mist sprays...really a quite simple printing process.
The Ink Transfer technique creates an interesting monoprint sky - a perfect foil to the nativity scene.
I so love the nativity stencil and this beautiful card made with it. :)
I think this might be my favourite.
I love the color combination and the shape of the cardstock used for the sentiment. Great Card....I love it!!!
