Christmas Nativity in BleuCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed the file slightly reduced size onto 200gsm glossy photo, after adding a Spanish Christmas greeting to the blank label using my Paint programme, and cut out the elements.

I attached the base image towards the top left corner of an 8x8 card blank using DST. I attached a silver flourish peel-off border to narrow lilac satin ribbon, cut to measure, then attached with DST along the length of the 2 wider margins and crossing in the lower right corner.

I decoupaged with 2mm foam. I added touches of gold stickles glitter to the haloes and a tiny cristal star gem. I added cristal stickles and more gems to the top of the Nativity panel frame, added tiny gems to the digital ribbon, tied a lilac organza double bow and attached below the large rose on the same ribbon, embellishing with a mirror gem and adding another mirror gem to the satin ribbons cross over. This is a gorgeous design for Christmas in lovely blue tones. The finished card is a true "Reason for the Season" card to send, to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
