CHNC challenge 16: sing song

It's Saturday again and time for another challenge on my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas blog - your can find all the details of the challenge here - hopefully you'll be able to join in with a Christmas card inspired by a song or a carol.

My card is based on 'Away in a manger' using the Penny Black 'the manger' stamp coloured with copics - I kept the colours fairly subtle to tone with the My Mind's Eye papers from the Christmas Glitter book. These already have a distressed look, but I further distressed edges, first with spiced marmalade DI and then fired brick. The inner shape is a nestie, so I'm linking this for Jingle Belles challenge to use die cuts, - their challenge this time is 'cross-pollinated' with Betty Bee's Buzzing honeybee challenge, so I'm linking there too.


I'm linking this for:

    Hazel, I love the papers you chose! I don't own that MME collection, but those are wonderful choices. I love the distressed edges sort of "framing" your manger scene. Well-done :)

    What a pretty card! I love the rich, elegant framing around the Nativity! It is a perfect way to use the die cuts for the Jingle Belles and BettyBee's Buzz challenge. I hope you will come over to the BettyBee's Buzz hive and share your card with us, and check out the rest of the HoneyBee creations. We would love to get to know you, Hazel!!
