Come to Bethlehem

Using the Framelits Window Frames Collection I have made an easel card of a different shape.  This idea I got from Narelle Farrugia whose work I absolutely adore, with all the layers and elements on her cards.

2012 Create Thursday-007At Create with Connie & Mary this week, the challenge is to make a shaped card using framelits or dies and also to use this sketch.

The colour scheme I have used is Basic Black, Whisper White and Champagne Glimmer Paper as the challenge at The Paper Players this week is to add some glam and glitz by featuring gold or silver on our creations, so I have combined the two challenges to make my card.



The Champagne Glimmer Paper is the gold and the glam is a Rhinestone added to the star.

The stamp sets used are Come to Bethlehem, Christmas Wishes and Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

The colour scheme is not the norm for Christmas, but a liked the finished result.

    Hey Carolyn! Your card is just so beautiful! That glimmer paper really makes your image shine (I just got my delivery of it on Thursday). I'm a huge fan of those colours and I love them for Christmas! Thanks for the shout out - you've made my day! I smile when I see your name in the gallery and always take a look at your cards too. Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie & Mary this week!
