My holiday season got off to a somewhat unfortunate start as I fell at the beginning of November, injuring my right hand and I was unable to use it much for several weeks so I have had to forego a lot of the crafting projects I had in mind. So now that I'm back in action I'm having a few issues with my hand and having to do a lot of range of motion type exercises so for the moment I really can say crafting is my therapy! :-) Anyway, I have always loved the Glory to God stamp set but haven't used it much so I was determined to use it this season and I have found not just one but two challenges I can enter this card for. One is based on this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the other is for Color My Heart where this week's challenge called for using Barn Red. I paired it with Champagne and Chocolate, my two favorite neutrals in the CTMH palette. I also added some gold embossing for the Christ child's halo as well as the stars.Happy (therapeutic) crafting!

Love the beautiful simplicity of your card. The gold touches are just right, too. Thanks for joining us at Color Mt Heart this week.
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous. I love the color combo and how you used the gold embossing for the halo. Really beautifully done. Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to see Christmas cards that remind us of the meaning of Christmas! Yours is a beautiful clean card, with just the right amount of gold. Thanks for sharing with us at Color My Heart this week, and hope your "therapy" continues to go well!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love the gold embossed halo! What a wonderful idea!!! The Barn Red makes such a rich background for the nativity. Thanks for playing along with us over at Color My Heart this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Annette! I'm glad you got to play along with us this week. I really love that stamp set too, and it looks great with this color. The embossing looks great too!
