Shine

Hello!
Did you have a good weekend?

I've another Christmas card to share today which I am linking up to the Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp

This one features a background made using TextureZ embossing paste in Patina and a Memory Box stencil 


The stencil made me think of a starburst and in my head I was thinking of the bright star over the little town of Bethlehem


I die cut a stitched star (Lil'Inkers) and used the Memory Box Country Landscape die for the town - You can see after die cutting the landscape I then cut it into 2 pieces and layered one over the other to give some dimension to the little town


Of course being me I had to add a dusting of glitter to the die cuts 

Wishing you all a lovely day and many thanks for stopping by

~ Ros ~
