Jeanne's challenge... to make a Christmas card in July. I really went out of my comfort zone....I used a brayer....and non traditional Christmas colors. It's my earthy Christmas card! I tried braying...I stamped the image and sentiment. I put glitter on the large star. It's hard to see. I ran the whole card through an embossing folder. Added a bow. tfl

Oh my word! This is a most striking Christmas card! Your brayered sky is amazing, and the texture and sweet Holy Family is precious! Lovely work!

This is really beautiful. I know brayering is a learned skill, but by the looks of this you are well on your way. Clever to use this embossing folder as it goes along with a starry night.
