I was in need of a Christmas card in the traditional spirit of the season that could be easily mass produced. I went with this clean and simple style. A simple matted card with gold embossing. They are all being mailed, so I needed to keep the bulk to a minimum, which resulted in the flat bow. The starting point for my card was the sketch challenge this week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
D1483 Glory to God
D1520 Ornamental Cheer
1273 Desert Sand Cardstock

What a pretty card…I love seeing cards with the Nativity scene. Sometimes I'm thankful that I have to watch the thickness of my cards, if I'm mailing out…helps push me in the CAS arena!
