O come let us adore Him

I have to let you know that I just love sketch challenges and I am wanting to get my Christmas card done for the month. So I was actually cleaning the other day and found a magazine with some stamps and decided to use them with this Nativity set and my Distress Oxide.  I heat embossed the sentiment and die cut some snowflakes.

I was having fun playing with some Distress Oxides and then I decided to use some for this sketch. They are not the traditional colors for Christmas, but that's was intrigued me. I also found some ribbon that I had recycled from a gift. I dry embossed the white background and then pulled out some snowflake die cuts and put a pearl in the center of the smaller ones. Then used a My Favorite Things Christmas Sentiment that I have had for quite sometime as a freebie set.
