SSIC Happy Birthday

It is Sunday evening here in the Southern Hemisphere and that means it is time for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - I know we all say it each week - but doesn't it come around so quickly!

This week the scripture is brought to us by MariLynn who has chosen:

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:1

In honor of Christ's birthday, MariLynn has challenged us to make a birthday card

This birthday card was created for my DS who turned 17 a week ago.  I decided it was time to tidy my desk and get ready for anything new that may arrive around, say, 25 December (LOL) and the best way to do this is to use the things that are already on it - see - multitasking!

This sentiment from the Layers of Color Sweet Silhouettes clear art stamp set was perfect for this occasion and was even better as I had precut it with the Spellbinders Grommet Tags Die, illustrated by Nina Brackett.  I use the Spellbinders Grand Calibur for all of the cutting I so - it is fabulous and I am totally addicted and not needing a cure! LOL!

I also used some Tim Holtz supplies - the divine embossing folder is perfect, symbolic of time and my DS growing up (too fast I might add) and the Umbrella Man - has been run off for me by a friend - so 'so-o-o' need this Die - it all came together so easily for a more CAS card - I have done a few of these now - a bit skeery for me! LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:
