Oh Holy Night

Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas carol and was my inspiration for this stamp set.  

What's your favorite Christmas carol? 

I started off by stamping the baby Jesus onto watercolor paper and used SU! ink to watercolor it.  Then I masked it off and used a sponge to color in the sky and ground.  I stamped the star with silver Encore ink after I sponged on the yellow "glow" and added a rhinestone to the center.

I stamped the palm fronds, halo and sentiment with Versafine black ink and water colored in the shadowing under and around baby Jesus.  

For a finishing touch I took a wet paintbrush and just touched it in random areas within the night sky to make the stars.
