Quite a contrast between my two cards today - lovely fresh green leaves making me think of spring and a Nativity scene!
The Sisterhood of Crafters want to see "green".
I die cut the leaf stem die out of light, medium, and dark green scraps of shimmer cs, embossed the background, stamped the sentiment in green and die cut it with a tag die that I attached with light and dark green twine.
My Twofer for today is for My Time to Craft Christmas and their nativity theme.
The image and sentiment are stamped and heat embossed, trimmed with a circle die cut, bordered with green and red circles, and popped up on the card base with fun foam. I had some leftover die cut stars that I glued randomly on the card base.

Susan: Oh, thank you so much for participating in our Nativity Christmas theme!!! You're the first one and maybe the only one...The simplicity of your layout helps keep the focus on the Holy Family! Beautiful! For MTTCC, Becca/DT
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Susan, your first reminds me to pull out my die cuts and EF's. I don't use either as much as I should. the white and green looks so fresh.
ReplyDeleteYour nativity scene is so elegant with the silhouette image.
I love both of these cards, Susan. The tri colored leaves is stunning with that embossing folder. Putting those die cut stars on the background is just so pretty with the scene.
ReplyDeleteThe embossed leafy background is perfect with the pretty leaves in those three shades of green Susan, and then your nativity themed Christmas card is beautifully CAS with the red and green circular layers and the sweet little added stars in the background. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous twofers. The first one is elegant with the three shades of green leafy stems. Love the nativity card.
ReplyDeleteThese green leaves are so crisp and pretty with the embossed background and sentiment! Love this Nativity stamp and how you added the stars on the background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shades of green leaves, Suan! Looking at this card makes me think spring is on the corner. The matching twin is a great touch!
ReplyDeleteLove the color contrast and the added die-cut stars of the nativity scene card!
