I grew up in a big city. So my Christmas view was like this. It’s the view where you can see if you live a big city. However Christmas night sky is not as dark as usual. The sky is shining brightly because of warm, welcoming, happy, peaceful and cozy Christmas feeling (spirit) everywhere. This is how I get the idea of today’s card.

So my Christmas card is not traditional style. Here is my card for today. I used The Ton products which is today’s sponsor. Let’s take a look at my card.
I started off by making the night sky. I blended distress inks (Mustard seed, Fadad jeans, Spiced marmalade, Festive berries, Black soot, Evergreen bough) on the A2 watercolor panel. Next I stamped a city view image from The Ton Vogue Skies stamp set using The Ton Noir Dye Ink and Deep sapphire dye ink on the some white cardstock. And then I fussy cut them and adhered them to the penal with tape.
Next I die cut pink paper and gold paper from The Ton Glossy Fine Gold in heart shape using The Ton Panda Can’t Even Dies . And I adhered them down on the card panel. Lastly I stamped the sentiment from The Ton Scripty Holiday Greetings stamp set and Christmas Poinsettia Mini Set on the panel with Versamark Ink. And then I heat embossed using white embossing powder. That’s it!!
Here is my Christmas theme cards using The Ton stamps. My Christmas card ideas will help you craft the best Christmas card!! 😀
