Hello! I created this card to join in Honey Bee Stamps Facebook Challenge on Traditional Holiday Designs.
I modified the stamp image from the Honey Bee Christ Is Born stamp set by taking off some of the elements included in the large nativity stamp set. I could have used the house in the stamp but I already cut the dark blue house that backs the roof and the beams cuts. I did not want the time, effort and resource put to waste.
Another modification I made is to stamp the star a bit farther from the house. To be able to do this, I masked the rays on the stamp to avoid inking it with Versamark ink.
Creating the rays is the most courageous part of creating this card since I foiled this part. Luckily, it did not turn out too bad despite some imperfection.
I also modified the ground of the manger, extending it on the sides to cover the whole panel of the vertical card.
This scene reminds me of our cardboard stand-up nativity scene at the Philippines which I grew up to, propping it under our Christmas tree. We don't have our own nativity scene here in St. Louis. It sure is nice to have one.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
