Experimenting with Tri-fold Nativity by AI

This uses a new set, Nativity,  from Art Impressions - a prize that I just won.  It includes 4 stamps and 2 dies.  You see the 3 layers in the view above - the main stable and sentiment, the inner manger, and the baby revealed in the last view.  The two dies create openings to show the inner layers.
I used chalk and stencils for a background - in subtle colors.

Recycling for Christmas 2018

The image and background mat are recycled from an old Christmas card.  I added some gold mesh and shiny ribbon as well as DP from my stash.

DT card for QKR Stampede challenge #295 - Anything Goes

This will go to a special member of our church who is having some health issues.  The QKR Stampede digital image is called "At the park"; the sentiment is from their sister company - Eureka stamps.  We invite you to participate in our weekly anything goes challenge - you have until Thursday at 6 p.m. to submit up to 3 items.  You may win images in either category - QKR / Eureka or "other".  I hope to see your creations there.
The image is colored with Prismas. I tore the image and edged it directly from an ink pad for a shabby look - a favorite technique for distressing.   The top layer is a freebie digital from TLC, and the coral mat is dry embossed. For more texture I used an acrylic dot for the center of the Prima flowers.  Sheer ribbon and a bow complete the card.
