Happy Sunday everyone,  Christmas is around the corner and I was so looking forward to making a card with baby Jesus on it and share it with you. 

What is fun about this project is that  I mixed and matched an image from Welcome Baby Stamp Set by Honey Bee Stamps and a sentiment from Joy to the Word Stamp Set by Honey Bee Stamps, also to give you an extra idea to stretch the use of your supplies.

So this is a very simple and quick card but when I finished it made me smile.   Isn't he adorable? 

I sponged the background using Tumbled Glass Distress ink to create a halo around baby Jesus and using a white marker I  drew dots and long diagonal lines over the distress ink to create the effect of light rays coming behind the baby.

To finish the card, I also used Concord and 9th Plaid background stamp and  Peacock Feather Distress Ink to stamp a blue piece of cardstock and add a fun decorative background to the front panel.

I colored the image using Zigs, and I also made a bit of stamped image surgery to alter the position of the baby feet.

That's all for today. I hope you like this idea. Thanks for stopping by!
