The Music of Christmas

Well, let's try this again!   I had a post ready to go, made a slight change and lost it in cyperspace....one of those days.   I have another Christmas card today, and this one tries to reflect the original theme of Christmas.


 A nice easy card, with something a little different.  
The angel image, 
coloured with water colours and accented with stickles,
comes from Mo Manning's digi selection.  
The sentiment and the music score are from Darcie's Stamps.
The Nativity scene is a GSD file, cut out on my Silhouette 
and then painted with perfect pearls for a nice shimmer.
The DP is from my stash, 
and while the snowflake/star pattern works great for the sky,
a little DI, sponged at the bottom, provides background for the scene.

Thanks so much for visiting, and hopefully you and yours are doing well.   Until next time......take care and think crafty!
