Just a few more Christmas cards to go with some I have already done....I have 4 batches of 25  (100) to do and not a lot of time to do them is this looks hard but is pretty straightforward really. I used theuva card for this. Make a mask for the Border's and one for the moon stick in place. Then using Ink Brushes I have a set of Clarity's brushes lovely to use as they are nice and soft. I always start with the lightest colour first so with Butterscotch  Adirondack take a little ink on the brush and start with a ripped sheet of copy paper put your sand dunes in layering and gradually becoming fainter the further up the card you go this will create the illusion of distance. Now for the sky I used Stonewashed Adirondack very lightly where the sand ends and gradually become darker as I go up the page I finish with a little Eggplant at the top of the card  ....the inking done I take Archival black and ink up the three wise men stamp placing them on the sand dunes I notice one of them pointing so.....pointing the star in was quiet easy but instead of inking it I used glue and gilding flakes Then used the Oh star of wonder stamp around it....viola job done I hope you like these xx
