Christmas Card Club Nativity Challenge

Good evening, and welcome. The challenge over at the Christmas Card Club for this 2 week period is a Nativity theme, chosen by our sweet Sue J. I have been very MIA lately, and finished today's card this afternoon. Then had to try to photo it, and of course that was a harder task than making the card itself. So here goes:

 

 

- Onyx Star Dream shimmer paper die cut with the S/B A2 Tranquil Moments die. Even though this is quite an intricate die, it cut quite well, I'm pleased to say.  Used a gold gel pen to outline around the die's center stitching lines.

 

- Older wooden mount nativity stamp inked with Versamark Champagne, then embossed with Ranger's Queen's Gold. 

- Britannia Silent Night die was cut from a white c/s snippet; smooshed in Versamark, then Queen's Gold to heat emboss. Had tried using a Wink of Luna gold metallic pen at first, which yielded a very nice result. After looking at the Queen's Gold emboss color and WoL gold, I decided I didn't like the different 'gold tones', so went back to cut another sentiment. Glued over the top of the WoL effort, and was pleased with the raised effect. Also liked the Queen's Gold effort better.

- white pearls colored with the WoL gold in the corners.

- gold mirror paper embossed with an Elizabeth Craft EF & placed under the S/B die cut. The center part of this layer was removed with an oval die - reserved for another use.

- black card base.

Have a wonderful Sunday evening, thanks for joining me, and I'm hoping I can be more active this coming week. My energy seems to be slow in returning, so I'm still resting quite a bit, although my physical symptoms from the allergy attack are thankfully pretty much over. Hugs!
