Religious Christmas Card

Hello Stampers!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am getting my Christmas cards ready.

I have about 30 different ones to make, so I wanted to make cards that were quick.

I used natural colors, but I know this stamp looks good with other colors too.

I started with a dark brown card.

The first layer is light tan with a textured dark brown. I put some string around the card and tied it.

The stamp has some space between the main part of the saying and the 'Merry Christmas'.

I used a die with the lightest tan and stamped the saying, May Our Savior on it.

** I masked the Merry Christmas off the bottom and only stamped the top part of the saying.

I stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom of the card. 

The Nativity Scene was stamped on white cardstock and mounted on the tan cardstock.

Stamps Used:

May Our Savior
