Torn Edge Scene

 Hello again,

I am again joining the ladies at Group of Seven Card makers with their most recent gallery calling for torn edges, I have used two of the Woodware Clear Nativity Silhouette set and a Distress Oxide blend from Kristina Werner, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves, with Black Soot to stamp and ink in the torn edge. My torn edge is from the back of an old Christmas card, having used a tag die to re-use the card front for gift tags. 

Stamped images and sentiment are clear heat embossed, sprayed with a mini mister from Crafts-4-U from one of the big craft stores at the Aussie Shows, a few larger dots added.

Here is my card

What I used
White 12.6x 17.8cm card blank
Woodware Nativity Silhouette stamps
MFT Bitty Holiday Wishes (maybe retired) 
Distress Oxide inks Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves, Black Soot
Clear embossing powder

We have been busy, the ceiling inside my built-in-robe got a large back flow from the roof gutters, resulting in the too high to reach shelf being infested with mould. Ceiling is down and the roofing people are coming in a fortnight to repair the outside issues, before we can even attempt to replace the plasterboard ceiling. 

Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...
