I love everything paper, so today's site is right up my alley. I was inspired by THIS.
I started by making a brayered background using just the pink, purple & blue part of a Kaleidacolor rainbow pad. The Bethlehem image was placed into my Misti & stamped several times (to get good coverage) onto the background. Since the image has a deckled look to the edges, I die cut it and the white frame layer inside using some long deckled rectangle dies. A larger black layer was attached behind then I attached the leftover rainbow layer behind the black. The Noel was die cut once in black & once in white & stacked.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

A beautiful card and so excited to hear about the new inspiration team, and seeing so many of my stamping friends as members. Looks like it will continue to operate in great hands. This has become one of my favorite challenges of the week over the last year.
