CRAFT Challenge Blog #776

 Hi there friends!

This week at CRAFT Challenge Blog the theme is: Children's Christmas. The sponsor is SheepSki Designs. The design I am working with is called: Christmas Eve. 

 Supply list found below.

Instruction:

1. Bring the design into the software for your cutting machine. I am using Silhouette Studio. 
2. Adjust the sizing for your preference. I will be using an A2 size card base. 
3. Using the Print & Cut feature, print the design and cut the outside line of it. 
4. Using scissors separate the moon from the boy's head. 
   
   
   
5. Using ink and a blending brush, ink the moon. 
6. On a white card panel 4x5.25" use ink and blending brushes to create a night sky. Use the same color you used for the moon to color a halo for it on the background. Use dark blue and black to add darkness for the rest of the panel.
   
   
   
7. Use a white splatter paint and splatter on the night sky -- this can be stars but I was going for snow. 
8. Use alcohol markers to color the boy and the dog. 
   
   
   
9. Using a window die set or a window SVG in your cutting software to cut a window. I used a die by Picket Fence Stamps but I couldn't find it for sale at this time. 
   
   
   
10. Using the window that you just cut, cut the outline shape of it out of patterned paper that will become the wallpaper of the room. 
    
    
    
11. Cut a bench for them to sit on. This can simply be a rectangle with two rectangle legs. I used patterned paper that has wood grain.  
    
    
    
12. Adhere all finished pieces in this order -- 
1. Night sky panel 
2. Wallpaper panel
   
   
   
3. Moon - position this so it will line up perfectly with boy's head
   
   
   
4. Window 
5. Boy and dog -- line the boy's head up to moon and slightly over the edge that you previously cut with scissors to hide that separation. I used adhesive foam to pop it up and left space at the bottom for the bench.
   
   
   
6.  Bench
13. I did not add a sentiment to the front of the card. I felt that it is a beautiful scene that didn't need that distraction. Next time I might add a little holiday decor to the room. 
    
    
    

 Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.
