Hey All!
As I was looking through my Honey Bee Stamp sets the other day I realized that I didn't have much in the way of Christmas Stamps and then it came to me 😲 I had this huge Adore Him Sentiment stamp, and as I was brainstorming, a Nativity Scene came to mind. And so, I gathered all my farm animal stamps and began working on this Honey Bee Friends Christmas Nativity Scene Card.
To make this card I started off by stamping out Pinky the Pig and then masked him off to stamp Lily the Lamb next to him. I then also masked the lamb to stamp out the Llama above them. To create the manger, I stamped out the top half of the basket from the Bushel and Peck set. The stamped little blanket comes from the No Probllama set. Since the Three Wise Men brought gifts for baby Jesus I thought it would be cute to have Pinky offer Him a donut. So I stamped out and die cut a donut to place in Pinky's hooves.
The images were all colored in using Copic Markers. (Copic list: Colorless Blender 0, C1, C3, C5, N0, B05, B28, B69, R20, R22, RV10, Y08, E00, E11, E15, E18, E29, E37, E93) Once I was done coloring, I used coordinating dies to die cut the animals by doing some partial die cutting. What I could die cut, I then fussy cut by hand.
Next, I created the background by adding Black Soot to the edges of a dark blue piece of cardstock cut to 4.25 X 8.5 inches. To the background, I added white spatters and stamped out the Adore Him Sentiment in the top left corner. Once the background was complete I glued down the animals to the background piece and then popped up the manger using foam tape.
I then added the finishing details by gluing some Rainbow Rhinestone crystals to the sky, glossy accents to their eyes, noses and the glazed donut, and by adding some stars to the sky using a white gel pen.
Hope this Christmas Nativity Scene Card inspired you today to stretch your stamp collection and create something altogether new.
Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
