I was making a few Hanukkah cards and I wanted to make something that didn’t use the only Happy Hanukkah stamp that I have. So out came my favourite sleigh ride edgelits which sadly are on the retiring list 🙁

I sponged a piece of very vanilla in blushing bride, up to about half way up the card and then sponged so saffron around the pink, blending it in a little. Next up was soft sky covering the rest of the card and blending into the so saffron. Then I took my spritzer and spritzed over the card twice with water. Whilst it was drying, I cut out the houses using the sleigh ride edgelits dies and very vanilla card stock. I also stamped the sentiment (from the retired Happy Hanukkah set) in soft sky on a scrap of very vanilla. I trimmed this and made a mat for it, but it overpowered the card so I just added the unmatted piece, popped up on dimensionals for interest. I then glued the very vanilla to my sunrise background (at least, I was going for a sunrise look) and put that onto a soft sky card base. I’m really pleased with the soft look that the spritzing added to the card, quite different to the effect on the night sky that I got here. I think I need to play around with other colours too.

I cut out a liner using the envelope liners thinlits to match the soft sky base of the card. Here are all the supplies (where available – the Happy Hanukkah is retired) that I used to make the card. It seems like a lot but they are all basics that once you’ve got them, you use them all the time.

See you tomorrow,
