Christmas Card Club Challenge #11 Christmas Carol

Hi Crafters,

Today I'm here to share another Christmas card creation on behalf of the Christmas Card Club.
This week Rita asked us to use the theme of a Christmas Carol.
I have gone with 'Away in a Manger'

Here's another very flat Christmas card for my growing collection.




Recipe
Nativity Scene Die - Apple Blossom Crafts
Glitter Card

How simple was that?!
These would be great for batch making. After I had cut the die from Centura Pearl card I covered the star with a pale lemon glitter and popped it back in the cut shape. I also have the letters from the cut out sentiment to use on another project.

I hope you will visit the rest of the ladies in our Christmas group for some festive inspiration, their links are in the tab at the top of my blog, however my card is a day early so theirs will be up tomorrow.

Challenges I'd like to enter:
CHNC on Saturday - #283 Use a Sentiment
Fab 'n' Funky - #306 Christmas


I will be here again tomorrow with my DT card for 613 Avenue Create, in the mean time I hope you are having a great start to the holiday weekend.
