Getting ahead with my Christmas quota to allow for summer busy-ness. These images were a RAK from Sue/Greenie, I was thrilled to get them; she sent me the sweetest card with this image last year.
I coloured them with pencils, then sponged round the edges.
For the wood, I use ices spruce, brushed corduroy and gathered twigs direct-to-paper on white card, then stamped the woodgrain. The base is sponged with chipped sapphire. I added the sentiment and a popped-up star. Oh, and I scored two of them and lightly swiped the scoring, but I forgot on the third.

Wow, I love how each one is slightly different. The popped up star and the wood grain matting really brings this manger scene to life. Another beautiful work of art Sabrina.

So glad you put these precious images to use for your Christmas stash, Sabrina, and what a great way to showcase them on your wood BGs with the sponging and scoring. Each has its own unique look - and they are all just perfect! Hugs!

Absolutely adorable image and I love the barn scene you created on these. I have gotten behind on my cards this month and will need to work extra hard next month to get caught up.
