Neutral First Christmas
Added to Favorite
xxxx

Photo Details
Poster: mamaxsix

 I love neutrals and I knew that I wanted to go in that direction with my Christmas cards that I would give to our church members. I loved the browns and golds in this inspiration piece. I wish the lighting had been better today so that the bg stamping showed up better though it is quite subtle IRL too. I stamped it in crumb cake on my Kraft notecards and sponged the edges with Soft Suede. I stamped baby Jesus in Soft Suede on Natural Ivory and distressed and sponged the edges. The star is stamped in gold on Early Espresso and those edges are distressed as well. I have a new best friend-gold Washi tape. It added a little glimmer without a lot of work and the roll had enough for all 40 cards with some left over.

Beautiful sentiment, Gail, and the star is right where the shepherds could find Him~

Love the distressing on your image - adds to the rustic feeling of the card! I'm sure your church members will love this!

The simplicity of this card is so perfect and fitting for the subject of the manger and star - I like the rustic brown with the gold, Gail!

reminds me of my Nordic nativity scene with the focus on the Baby Jesus. A very nice card :)

I LOVE this.....I love neutrals too! Your baby Jesus stamp is awesome...I just adore that simple 'blocky' look. It reminds me so much of cards a family friend who was an artist, used to send us years and years ago. I'm struggling to get the right words...they're not coming.....I LOVE your card!!!!
