Christmas Card Club Challenge #2 - The Real Reason For The Season

Hi Crafters,
Here I am again with my CCC card. This time the theme was chosen by Christine and she has picked ' The Real Reason For The Season'.
I have gone for a cute look this time rather than the traditional Nativity scene using a fabulous digital download from Pink Gem Designs which creates the whole shaped 3d card.

 I printed this on white pearlescent cardstock but I'm not sure that it shows up here. It is a tent fold card and hinges behind the star. The images were cut out, layered up and I added white matt glitter to the lambs for their wool. This side view might give you more of an idea of the layers...

There is a panel on the back to put your message or greeting and it fits inside an 8" x 8" envelope.
Hope you can join in with us for this challenge and get your Christmas cards started for this year, it's a great way to spread the load of all the Christmas cards that we have to make. Please visit the other ladies in the team who have some fabulous inspirational cards on their blogs today, link in the tab above.

    So adorable, and it's so pretty done as the tent fold. The images are so sweet and represent the challenge theme perfectly. Love the glitter on the tiny lambs, it made them look quite wooly. TFS & Hugs.
