This card is for the Alphabet Challenge, letter 'U'.
The Double Challenge was to Use It! 'U' is in the title and Use It meant to use something that hadn't seen ink in a while or to use something you hadn't ever used. This is the first time I've used this stamp set.
An easy card to put together. The coloring took the longest.. once I decided on colors for the robes. The only thing I would do differently is to cut the burlap ribbon at the edge instead of folding it over.. it made it too thick. But overall, it turned out pretty nicely. Thanks so much for looking. I hope you enjoy! =)

Love it! I haven't seen this nativity image before; it's beautiful. Love how you colored it. The burlap is an excellent addition. The die-cut frame is so pretty. Well done for Letter U with the verse - unto us. Glad you had a chance to use this lovely stamp set. Well done. TFS

You are on a roll. Love the white lace square diecut you used. Excellent burlap ribbon. It ties in with the roof on the nativity scene and looks wonderful. Great coloring too! Great papers.

Beautiful Card. Even though the burlap adds thickness it really adds wonderful texture to the card and I would be afraid of it unraveling if you cut it. But if you could glue it down well it might be ok. Love it any way!
