Luke 2:10-11

Well, sometimes my cards don't turn out as well as I had hoped, but that's the way it is, since every card is somewhat of an experiment and a learning experience. I got a new die in the mail yesterday--actually three of them, and it was exciting to get to use them. One was a small poinsettia bloom from Poppy Stamps, so it seemed fitting to make a Christmas card.

Starting out with white cardstock, a black layer was put down, then a black and white layer. On top of that is a textured gold paper. I had printed out Luke 2:10-11 on my computer and thought the text would fit nicely into the Memory Box frames I got, but the font was too big. When all was said and done, some of the text was obscured from view. I decided to use it anyway, and send it to someone who is familiar with the passage and who is not too judgmental about these kinds of things. (LOL). I am hoping they can mentally "fill in the blanks" from memory.  :o)

The second layer of framing is elevated with tiny little pieces of pop dots, and the poinsettia blooms are accented with greenery cut from a Martha Stewart Pine Border punch. The center of the poinsettias are glittered with gold.

Here is the card:

Romans 10:9-11

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
