I have been under the weather for a few days but am finally better and able to make a card. I made a center step card with a nativity image I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I used a pale lt. blue DSP from a Martha Stewart pad so it would look like the night sky. The large star was part of the image and I added some sparkle with a clear glitter pen. The tiny stars were stamped by inking just the star on the O in the sentiment, which is an older stamp from Michael's dollar bin. I thought it fit the image perfectly. The swirls were cut with MFT Formal Flourish die. All the mats are SU Basic Black and the card base is MFT Smooth White. I added Recollections Enamel Dots on the sentiment panel.
Here is a photo of the inside as I used a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Christmas Blessings and I am entering my card in the ODBD "Anything Holiday" challenge. I added a small strip of the blue DSP & black CS to the inside panel.
I am also entering my card at Christmas Card Challenge - Faith Based challenge.
and linking to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for "seeing Stars" since I do have the stars.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate it.
Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
