After the fold is made I cut 1” off the open side. The image panel is 1 1/16” x 3 1/16” before the borders were added.
I did use the 1” piece I cut off the edge for the holly border. It could be stamped right on the inside but I did a practice run, liked it and tape it on.
-The panel is polished stone using Stonewashed, Pearl and the extender.
-The image is Prismacolor pencil and Mona Lisa mineral spirits (MichaelÂ’s brand of Gamsol).
-I used a VersaMark pen to wet the cardstock and added the color pearl Pearl Ex with a firm artist brush then sprayed the panel with hair spray that has the Pearl Ex added for glimmer.
-I also added some Stickles for a more noticeable glitter.
-The sky is done with my handmade cloud stencil, sponge and pad ink.

This is so very pretty. Love the way the holly fans out behind the church and that polished stone BG. TFS!!

I love your card! I can picture myself walking in the "Silent Night". TFS! I'll probably case it for a Christmas card this year since I haven't started my 110 yet! jeanne
