Hello Everyone!! Today I can announce that I've joined the Our Daily Bread Designs Alumni Team!!

I have Our Savior's Birth to play with this month and I think this is the very first Nativity stamp that I've owned (how on earth have I gone this long without one??) so it was fun to colour this one up! I stamped the image from Our Savior's Birth in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic Markers (a LOT of Copics...E000, E01, E11, E13, E15, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E39, B00, B12, B14, B45, W0, W1, W3, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, 51, E53, E55, E57, E81, E84, E87, E89, YR30). I've then cut it out with Pierced Circles Dies. I then created the base of Kraft card and added a strip of Marina Mist. I've then taken some Very Vanilla and cut it with Lavish Layers Dies, topping it with more Marina Mist also cut with the next die from Lavish Layers Dies. On top of this I've added a piece of Vintage Ephemera Collection paper. I've popped this whole panel up on foam tape and then added the image panel on top, also on foam tape. To finish I've added a few pearls to the corners.
