A Christmas Thank You

Hello and Merry Christmas to you all!

Tomorrow is the big day and I hope you all are ready. Thought I would pop in with one last Christmas card, this time it's a Christmas thank you. I plan to send a few of these out after the big day... A bunch of Hero Arts goodness on this one! Started by stamping the small branch (from Magic of Christmas) multiple times, in Ripe Avocado, to create a large and small branch on a white card base. Colored in with three shades of green Copic Markers.
Stamped the ornament (also from Magic of Christmas) in Scarlet Jewel onto Shimmer White and Shimmer Pink cardstock. Cut out the outer portion from the Shimmer White and the inner from Shimmer Pink. Here's A Tip: I used a kraft blade to trim out the center of the ornament. Attached the layers together with dimensional adhesive and then adhered the ornament onto the card base. Finished the card off with a large silk bow, a rhinestone center and a sentiment from Signature Christmas.

I am look forward to spending Christmas with my family (even though we will be missing a couple people this year) and together rejoicing in the greatest gift ever given, the birth of a Savior!

"She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sin." Matthew 1:21

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to visit me and I truly hope you all have a Blessed Christmas!
