This card was quick to put together and I will probably make a couple more of the same to finish up my last few Christmas cards. I thought I started plenty early to get a handmade card done for everyone on my list. Let's just say I'll start earlier next year. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers but changed it up a little with my shape for the Nativity stamp (which came from Digisparkle). I used my Nesties for the scalloped frame shape. I will also post this card onto the Paperplay blog for their challenge of a Christmas card with no red or green. I do have to say the pictures don't do this card justice. The sparkle doesn't show very well. If the sun would just shine here in Michigan my light for my photos would be so much better. But, I should be happy that we haven't had any snow yet (yuk, I hate winter). 
I think this image is so beautiful in it's simplicity. I used Martha Stewart glitter pens to color the image. I also outlined the white frame with the silver glitter pen. I backed the image with navy cardstock. Below the navy cardstock the paper is silver metallic though it doesn't show in the picture. My ribbon is white organdy with silver trimming the edges. For embellishment I used stars that I cut from Cricut's Celebration cartridge. I inked the edges of each star with navy blue ink then put a crystal star in the center of each one.
