Seasons of Wonder - 100th Post

Wow...I can't believe I have posted 100 cards to my blog. What better way to celebrate that, than with a card using Doodle Pantry images. This set was previously sold through CDS (Clearly Digital Stamps) and is now being released through Doodle Pantry.


This is the Season of Wonder set and it's just beautiful. I chose to use a PRE-COLORED image for my card. I used the digital paper that comes with the set, as well as one of the sentiments. I cut the manger using my Silhouette Cameo. I distressed it with a little bit of black ink. I printed the colored image and used a bit of blue ink to distress it. The straw roof is actually a cut file called reeds and was cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I cut them in several different sizes to be able to add layers. I also put a few pieces in the rafters and at the bottom of the manger. I added the star charm to the top of the roof. The sentiment was printed on white card stock, cut with a Spellbinder's die and distressed with dark blue ink. This was adhered to the pattern paper from the set, then dark blue card stock and finally a white card stock base.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
