Creative Belli Challenge #133-Merry Christmas

December 21st - January 3rd
Challenge #133 - Merry Christmas!
(you must have the word "Christmas" on your card)

 What is more special at Christmas time than Jesus in the manger???  I found this great digital image at Create with TLC.  I used a CAS design so the focus would be on the image. I used My Mind's Eye DSP from a 2009 stack.......but I love the blue shimmery paper to emulate the night sky. I hand wrote the sentiment, as I am away from home and have no access to any sentiments.....  I added paper piercing to the border of the image. The star is 'layered up'- which is a Technique Junkies technique.


The spirit of the Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments!The DSP is  'old' and the gold ribbon under the sentiment is from a reel I purchased for last year's cards- and was not used.
 Be sure to stop by the Creative Belli Blog to see what the Belli Girls made for you today.....  If/when  you upload a card to Splitcoast, PCP, Stamp TV or another online gallery be sure to add CBC133 in the keywords section.


 
Thanks for stopping by!
