The Star

We've made it to Christmas Eve, a Sunday this year. The excitement of all the month of preparation is about to come and go for another year.  Here at my home, we are loading up to head to my home town to have our family time with my Dad, brother, my children and all their families.  Hopefully we will be organized enough to attend the morning church service where I attended as a child and well into my adult life.

Today's card image is from Whimsy Stamps. It's 'Star of Bethlehem' by artist Crissy Armstrong and I've used the digital image.

After sizing the image I added the sentiment 'Hope' near the bottom on the left corner.  Then I printed this on Neenah 110# cardstock.  I colored the image with my Copic markers and used Gina Marie Designs Label Six die set for the edging.  

The card base is a standard A2 size covered with a dark green plaid.  I secured the completed image in the center.  Lastly I added light lines of Platinum Stickles over the starburst to complete the card design. 

My wish for you today is to take a moment to be grateful for your many blessings and the Hope that the birth of Baby Jesus gives us.  For we serve a Risen Savior!
