Christmas and Thank You Cards

Another Christmas card to share today. 

I used a set of preloved Pretty Quick 'Silent Night' dies I bought a couple of years ago.  I die cut the Nativity scene in navy blue.  The words and small stars were backed with yellow card, before layering on a piece of blue ombré card.  I then inlaid the large star and halo with yellow card.  The large decorative mat is die cut using silver holographic card - which was a nightmare to try and photograph!

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:



My second card uses a digi stamp I chose with a gift voucher I won a month or two ago in the Butterfly Challenge.  The digi stamp is Bugaboo 'Floral Butterfly Thank you', which I coloured with Promarkers.  I layered the image on a green and a yellow mat.  

I am joining in the following challenges:

  1. I've hopped over from Beccy's Place. The holographic mat is beautiful behind your Nativity scene. That's a great image from Bugaboo too. I might just have to add that to my collection.
