Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the July challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Marcia and she has chosen ‘Nativity’ for our prompt...also, our fabulous Guest Designer is Jane!
Every so often, I like using silhouette stamps on my cards, and I think it was perfect for stamping a nativity scene. I started this 5x7 card by stenciling clouds in the background and sponging a small amount of Antique Linen for the ground. There are several stamps in this set, but I wanted to keep it simple and stamped only the manger and trees. Lastly, I added the sentiment, a few clear gems, and the star which was cut with silver glitter cardstock.
We hope you’ll stop by the CAS Christmas Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer. The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us...It's a great way to get started on your Christmas cards!

Love the elegant simplicity of your card. Just the tiny bit of pale coloring really offsets your black silhouette images.
Beautiful Nativity, Barb, and I love the soft cloud background to your window!!
Such a beautiful nativity silhouette card, Barb! Your subtle sponging adds interest and still makes this scene clean. The sparkly star and the clear gems are the just right amount of the shiny finishing touch!

You created a lovely background of stenciled clouds and soft ground for your beautiful silhouette stampings Barb. I thought at first it was a die cut (!) So pretty with the trees framing your scene inside the flat bottom circle.
CAS and absolutely beautiful Barb! I love silhouette stamps and this one is so pretty framed and also with the addition of the soft clouds and sandy ground. Lovely, lovely card!!
So striking in its simplicity. Great idea to make it 5x7 to keep it CAS. Love how you’ve framed it with the light cloud stencilling.
A wonderful CAS card! Love the simple embellishments of the silver star and the clear gems!
Barb, wonderful Nativity image, I love the CAS layout :)
Beautiful card Barb! Love your mostly black and white card which is a classic. Adding just a little colour with your sky and silver glitter paper really makes this shine. xx
Beautifully done, the subtle backgroud behind your scene adds depth.
Barb, this is so beautiful … the world needs Christmas in July more than it ever has. And a whole lot of JOY! Thanks for this gorgeous version of the Blessed Nativity today!
