Bonjour !
C’est mercredi, donc c’est un nouveau défi qui commence aujourd’hui chez Addicted to Stamps and More et le thème est…Noël. Bien que nous soyons plus proche du printemps et des fêtes de Pâques, il n’est jamais trop tôt pour faire une carte pour Noël !
Hello !
Today it’s Wednesday, and there is a new challenge that starts at Addicted to Stamps and More and the theme is…Christmas. Even if spring and Easter holidays are closer, it’s never too early to make a Christmas card !
Voici ma carte / Here is my card
S’il y a bien une chose que j’aimerais voir une fois dans ma vie, c’est une aurore boréale. Je trouve cela tellement magique et magnifique ! Pour faire cette carte je me suis inspirée du thème de CAS Christmas “Silhouette”. Dans ma tête j’ai vu un paysage du grand Nord éclairé par un clair de lune.
If there is one thing that I would love to see once in my life, it is an aurora borealis. I find it so magical and beautiful ! To make this card I get inspired by the CAS Christmas theme “Silhouette”. In my head I saw a landscape of the far North lit by the moonlight.
Puis petite à petit le clair de lune s’est transformé en aurore boréale mais j’ai gardé l’idée du clair de lune dans la forme de ma scène hivernale. J’ai créé un pochoir en forme de croissant de lune que j’ai posé sur une feuille blanche. J’ai fait un masque pour délimiter le sol du ciel et j’ai appliqué les différentes couleurs d’encres Distress pour créer l’aurore boréale.
Then little by little the moonlight turned into the aurora borealis but I kept the idea of moonlight for the shape of my winter scene. I created a stencil in the shape of a crescent moon that I put on a white card stock. I made a mask to seperate the sky from the ground and I blended the different colours of Distress inks to create the aurora borealis.
Avec une matrice j’ai découpé le cerf (x3) dans du papier blanc et je les ai collés les uns sur les autres.
I die cut the deer (x3) in a white card stock and I glued them on top of each other.
J’ai laissé le pochoir et le masque en place et j’ai tamponné le sapin 3 fois. J’ai retiré le masque et avec des crayons de couleur gris j’ai fait les ombres des sapins et du cerf.
I let the stencil and mask in place and I stamped the fir 3 times. I took off the mask and with gray pencils I made the shadows of the trees and the deer.
Pour finir j’ai découpé autour du croissant de lune et je l’ai collé sur une double carte blanche, puis j’ai tamponné le sentiment.
To finish I fussy cut around the moonlight and I adhered it on the double white card, then I stamped the sentiment.
Et voilà pour moi ! Et surtout n’oubliez pas d’aller voir les magnifiques créations de mes coéquipières sur le blog principal ICI et sur leur blog où vous pourrez leur laisser un gentil commentaire !

This is an absolutely WOW card! Gorgeous aurora borealis, and I love the design. There may have to be a CASE in my future, although I’ve never managed a Northern Lights sky even close to this. Beautiful.
