JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 8!

Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 8!  Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps!  And don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too -- you can find them HERE.  This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the Flower Soft and The Shabby Tea Room challenge blog design teams!  

Here's my sample for today using one of JustRite's new CLING sets, Simple Blessings: 

I stamped the church with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic X-Press It Blending card and colored it with the Copic markers listed below.  Clear Copic Atyou Spica Glitter Pen accents the stained glass windows.

COPIC TIP: To make white objects appear white against surrounding white cardstock background, either color the background around the white object with a color to make the white object stand out, or shade cooler objects with the C-cool gray color family and warmer objects with the W-warm gray color family, to bring them to life!

I cut away the clouds from the background and mounted the church with foam tape to the wood grained paper I die cut.  Then I die cut a Spellbinders Labels Four frame, glittered it with Martha Stewart Tourmaline glitter, and popped it up on foam tape over the church image.  Speaking of that Labels Four die – did you receive Ellen Hutson’s monthly newsletter this month?  This month’s discount code is for 25% off any Spellbinders!  If you didn’t get that newsletter or discount code, let me know and I’ll forward it to you!

The church is nestled into a loosely woven pink botanical paper overlay:

The Merry Christmas tag was made by stamping one of the sentiments from this set with Memento Rose Bud ink and then die cutting it with some more of those yet-to-be-released JustRite custom dies made by Spellbinders (details coming soon)!  The edges of the tag were inked with Memento Desert Sand ink and don't you love the accent piece you can die cut to go behind the tag's die cut ends?!  I cut those from the same ivory cardstock as the tag and then inked them with the same Rose Bud ink, so they would match the tag sentiment.  Pink gemstones finish off the tag.
