The whole time while I was making the card I was thinking ... "thank you God for sending your Son". Super image Shelly - thank you!!! I decided to go with an easel card and turned the front into a stable scene. The papers are from a free pad of My Mind's Eye papers that came with a copy of a Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine. I punched a star border with a Letach punch, coloured the image in with Spectrum Noir pens, and added glitter, card candi, and white gel pen lines. The 'thatching' was made by snipping some white and yellow gold paper, then ruffled a little. So here's my card!
