Jewish New Year cards

I was inspired by a challenge I noticed

on the Simon Says Stamp Blog

to create your own background.

I am to late to enter my cards, but

I do share my vards with you, for

they might inspire you for your

Jewish New Year cards.

This year i did not want to hav the apple

with honey card and so i searched through

my stamps for another idea.

One of the wishes we tell each other is:

May you be inscribed for another good year,

so how about using  quil and inkpot.

I found i had this great stamp from the Chemist

stampset by Tim Holtz as well as some movers

and shapers. I went to work!

I started with making these backgrounds

by using a stencil for this one and the script

embossing folder and some spray inks.

This one is done with the scriptembossing folder and

first adding some distress inks and later on

sprying it with a pearly spray ink.

Hope you ca see the shiny pearly ink, when

you click on the photo to see a larger version.

Now these are the finished cards:

Here i stamped the quiland inkpot

on the yellow paper and colored it with 

distress markers. The picket fence works great on

the yellow paper.

Here I used the movers and shapers.

For the feathers I used some glossy paper

that i stamped with some alcohol ink and 

abackground stamp, before cutting it.

Now you may wonder about the hebrew text

 you see on both cards:

 I printed this text on the inside of the cards.

The new year will start on the eve of September 24

and will be the year 5775. Yes we do have a different way

of counting and different months too. The Jewish Year 

is based on lunar cycles. If you are interrested,

you can read more about it HERE.

Have a creative day!
