Sunny Studio - Tropical Trees Nativity Scene

Hello there,

I am back with a Christmas card! In June! It might be a bit early, but when I saw those palm trees from the Tropical trees die set by Sunny Studio, it clicked in my head and I immediately pictured a nativity scene, with black silhouettes, during a bright starry night.

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches bristol panel, and I first created sand dunes using a slimline hill stencil along with tumbled glass and blueprint sketch oxide inks. And for the sky, I went with prize ribbon, chipped sapphire and black soot oxide inks. I kept the sand dunes without any texture, but I wanted the night sky to be full of stars, so I added lots of details on that part of the card: water splatters, white ink and liquid sparkles.

Next I cut the different elements out of black cardstock to create silhouettes. I cut four palm trees and two borders using the Tropical trees die set, and used coordinating dies from Holy night to create the nativity scene. And I attached all those pieces using foam squares: the borders at the bottom, the nativity scene in the middle and two palm trees on each side.

I embossed my "O holy night" sentiment from Holy night in silver on a small black Stitched circle that I attached in the middle of the card, and I finished my card by adding more stars in the sky using a white gel pen.
