For this weeks card I used Sweet and Sassy's set "Born this Day". I love this set, not only does it have this adorable manger image, it has lots of Christmas greetings and sentiments! I used Distress markers and a water brush to create a soft, watercolor look. Die cut the star from gold foil paper and popped it up with a foam square. Embossed the blue panel, die cut the bottom edge of the light craft panel. The gold embossed craft paper is from DCWV. The greeting was stamped on a banner die cut then popped up by scoring and folding each end of the banner. Now to get this card in the mail! Yes, I'm late again this year!!
I hope you take the time to play along this week, we look forward to seeing what you create! (and you could win a great prize from Sweet and Sassy Stamps!)
Thanks for stopping by. For more wonderful inspiration, be sure to stop by the other design team member's blogs.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas!!
