Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well & you're all ready for Christmas! Only 1 more week...YIKES! I think I'm almost ready...I just wish the weather was a little more Christmassy. With the temperatures in the 60's & 70's in the east, at least I think we'll be spared the wearing of the ugly sweaters. We haven't had this warm a December in all the years we've lived here.My card today is all about Christmas. I used some non-traditional colors but it's growing on me. The strip in the middle is actually part of a large tag I made w/ Distress inks & a little platinum Brilliance for some sparkle. The aqua & lime sparkle layers were die cut w/ curved dies & the largest lime sparkle was embossed on both ends. Though the small manger image was meant to be a postage frame, I wanted to use it on my card so I added the large star from the wisemen image in the center of the postage frame. For the rest of the wisemen, I stamped them on the aqua layer & added some white Prismacolor pencil highlights.
Here's a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used on small nativity image.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Very pretty, I never would have thought to use those colors for a Christmas card but they really work.
Julie, this is soooo pretty! You combined so many great elements on this card and it is fabulous! Even the colors are fabulous. I always have to study your cards for a long time to soak in all the great things you do on them - this is no exception. Many hugz
