"After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11
With all this in mind it has been suggested that it would be great fun to make a card, layout, or project of your choice this week and have a gift placed somewhere on it. It is also Lisa's birthday - so gifts it is!! Happy Birthday to Lisa from Stampin' Sisters in Christ too!!
My card is a Penny Black image that I won along with many others from Pauline C's Blog Candy - they are just so cute and I don't get to them often enough - I am glad I used this one today - mice seem to be a theme for me lately! LOL!
I have chalked the image and popped it up on dimensionals - it is layered into some embossed CS, using the Paisley EF....no surprises when I tell you that all edges have been sponged around with distressing ink! I ran a strip of patterned DP that has been scalloped under the embossed CS then added my sentiment which has been cut with a circle punch and popped up on dimensionals, some gorgeous flowers that I also won in a Blog Candy have been added - I love these flowers - thank you Sharon - they add so much to a card!!
This card is also for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Christmas for the Girls
I am linking it to The Pink Elephant Challenge for your favourite Colouring technique - for me that would be....yes, you guess it - chalking!!
2RedBananas is all about warmth this week - it doesn't get much warmer than 'comfort food!' - it makes you feel 'warm' all over!!
So thank you for looking and for your lovely comments - I love seeing that you have visited me! I hope your weekend is great! God bless you!
Very pretty, the soft colors and gold. The little mouse is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Linday! :) THIS is sooo cute! Of course if I found a REAL mouse lying on top of a cupcake in MY box, I'd drop it and scream, but THIS card is too CUTE! :) LOL
