Handmade Religious Christmas Card

Hello Stampers ~ I have a beautiful Handmade Religious Christmas card to share with you today.

Well I got everything I needed to have completed before I leave today but 2 blog posts.  I will finish them up this morning and then I will be set through Sunday.  Jess came home early yesterday as day care called her and she had to pick up Remi.  She was running a low grade fever and was coughing.  There is a virus going through the day care and I guess Remi caught it.  Naturally she has to be home today as they cannot come back until they have been fever free for 24 hours.  I will have her this morning while Jess goes to work and then she will come home and I will leave.  It is never ending when you have little ones!

I wanted to show you how easy it is to create clean and simple cards that still can be very elegant.  A lot depends on the colors you choose to use.  To me navy, vanilla, and gold says elegant.  I decided to use those colors for my creation today.  I began with a Night of Navy card base.  I took a layer of Very Vanilla – 4″ x 5 1/4″ and added an Eastern Gold Vinyl Sticker down the left hand side.  This was then added to my card base.  I used another piece of Night of Navy card stock that was 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and using the Softly Falling embossing folder I embossed the panel.  I love this folder and used it on one of the cards in my November Creations of the Month.  This was added to the card base with Tear & Tape leaving all of the sticker showing and a little of the Very Vanilla panel on the right hand side showing.  I stamped the image using Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder.  The Stitched Shapes framelits were used to cut it out.  I then used the Layering Circles and some Gold Foil paper and cut out a circle a little larger than the image layer.  The 2 ovals were layered using Tear & Tape.  The completed image element was added to the card front using dimensionals.  Here is the elegant Handmade Religious Christmas Card.
