Oh Holy (Rainbow) Night

Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, cheermom.

I chose this card as my inspiration:

LIST: Colours (rainbow, white), Techniques: (stamping, colouring), Elements (lots of white space, night sky, row of multi coloured houses, black silhouette in sky)

INCLUDE: rainbow colours, white space, night sky, houses

MODIFY: colouring to ink blending, add dark sky, change santa to Bethlehem star

EXCLUDE: images in foreground

I made 32 of these cards in about 3 hours using an assembly-line type process. I cut all the card bases, then the panels, then I stamped the Bethlehem stamp with copic-friendly ink using my MISTI. I left the stamp on the MISTI door.

Then I did all the ink blending, one colour at a time on all 32 panels. I created a mask from acetate so my rainbow inks wouldn't go beneath that curve.

To finish it off, I added the star and sentiment to the MISTI door and re-stamped all 32 panels with Versafine Onyx ink, to give it a deep crisp outline.
