CAS Christmas Challenge ~ JULY

Hi Friends!
Welcome to this months CAS Christmas Card Challenge hosted by Marcia.
This month the theme is "Nativity"
Sorry for the glare!
This image is from a demo stamp from Hero Arts I have had for years.
I embossed the image with HA silver EP and stamped the sentiment in GOLD from the PTI Nativity Silhouettes stamp set.
I added a bit of oxide ink just above baby Jesus' head to glorify Him!
Clean and Simple!
Our Special Guest this month is Jane from Purplejet Loves crafts,
Please visit Jane and give her some love with the wonderful Nativity inspiration she has for you.

Heart Hugs, friends!

Your nativity is lovely embossed in the silver Colleen (it looks very similar to the one I used which is from PTI!!) Love how you added the halo glow around the baby Jesus!

Beautiful Nativity scene you have created Col. It is so pretty in the silver EP. And great idea to sponge a glow around Baby Jesus.
