For this card, I created the background using a blend of several Distress Oxide inks. Once the layers were built up, I lightly sprayed the surface with water and blotted it with a paper towel to lift some of the ink—creating a soft, starry night effect.
With the background complete, I added the silhouette die cut from Gina Marie Designs of Santa and the boy, placing the stamped sentiment just below to anchor the scene. To finish the card, I scattered a few gems for a touch of sparkle.
