This is for the challenge of today being Roxie's awesome sketch. funny one for me today, turned completely around...lol...was going to start with a little cute pic, and bright and cheery, then saw this little stamp I havent used yet so thought a good time to try it out.
I saw the little manger and then thought i would add a bit of "straw" a bit around it like its sitting in it. It didnt work on crisp white or anything, so went with some wood looking dp so it was like the manger stall...lol..so came the browns...lol..so now I am looking at it and its not a fun cheery card at all...lol...still cute I guess..still not sure what it needs but thought I would just stop, I think for learning purposes my bottom layer is a bit big and too spacy something doesnt seem right, unless its just not cheery christmas color I am used to...not sure if you have ideas I am not minding truth or ideas at all...and Thanks for visiting...:0)

I think your hay is adorable! Maybe you were just disappointed that this card didn't come out the way you anticipated. Funny how that can happen to us, but Jesus wasn't born around cheery colorful things. Your dp and color choices are a good representation of the way it was when our Saviour came into the world. Great card! = )

Wendy, your card is delightful. Nontraditional holiday cards are in, so you're right on top of your game. i love the manager and your punched 'straw'. I think your card is perfectly darling and I couldnt suggest anything that would make your card any sweeter than it already is.
