Nativity Ornament for Merry Monday

Good Merry Monday morning.



Our lovely Lori chose the challenge this week.



I chose to use this lovely Nativity ornament from Hero Arts and 
heat embossed it in gold.

I had this background in my UFO box.
It was done with a stencil and embossing paste.
While it was still wet, I doused it with Dazzling Diamonds.

The die cut sentiment was cut 3 times and stacked.
Then I smacked it with VersaMark and
embossed that in gold too.

I apologize for the photo.  It's really hard to get all that sparkle in focus.


Just a reminder that our CAS Mix Up challenge
is open until the 24th.
I'll add this to the gallery since I have
Stamping, Heat Embossing, Stencil, Embossing Paste, Die Cut


I hope you'll check out the inspiration pieces from the Design Tem 
and increase (or start) your stash of Christmas cards 
by joining us at Merry Monday.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

  24. Beautiful. One of my favorite Nativity dies...can either be a dark silhouette or gleaming with gold as you've done on this pretty card. I love that dazzling chevron background too. Brilliant idea to add the Dazzling Diamonds to the wet paste. TFS & Hugs
