CAS Christmas July 2020

Hello friends, this month our talented Host is Marcia and she would like us to use a Nativity scene on our cards.  Please join us at CAS Christmas as we are on the downhill slope until Christmas (What??) Only 5 more months and we know how fast that time goes. 

I used an old miscellaneous Christmas stamp set that I have had for many years.  I think it is the only Nativity set I have.
I sponged  DOX inks and then white embossed the image of Mary and Jesus.  I framed it with a die from Poppy Stamps Simple Bethlehem Frame that my BFF had given to me.

Thanks for stopping by.

What a beautiful stamp of Mary and baby Jesus Linda! So pretty sponged in the orange/yellows and with the lovely die cut Bethlehem beneath them! A very creative design!

A wonderful CAS Nativity card, Linda! The orange ombre background is fabulous! The white heat-embossed Mary and Jesus, and the white die-cut Bethlehem buildings beautifully pop against it.

Linda the blended background is stunning against the white nativity die cuts. Really makes me think hot sun in the desert.
