Here is my card:
My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye All is Bright 6x6 pad. The precious image is In The Manger from Mo's Digital Pencil. You can find it in Mo's shop here. I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics. I added some splashes of Shabby White Fran-Tage for some texture and sparkle. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. I added fancy corners cut with my Cameo using a free cut file from SVG Cuts. I embellished them with fancy pearl accents. Some pretty lace finished the outside of my card.
Here is a close-up of the colored image:
Although I don't usually, I decorated the inside of my card, too. Here is the inside:
I used another design from the same patterned paper pad and a sentiment frame made with my Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles dies. The sentiment on the inside is from JustRite Stampers Christmas Nested Sentiments. I don't think these old style stamps are available anymore.
