Hello friends ~ Just a reminder that there is still time to link up your card for the February CAS Christmas Card Challenge. Christine is hosting this month and she has chosen ‘Winter Scene’ for our prompt.
Another 5x7 Christmas card for a very special (and religious) person on my list :) Instead of using black for the silhouettes, I decided to use white so they would pop against the navy blue background. I splattered gold paint (like stars in the sky as opposed to snow) and used gold EP for the sentiment.
My teamies have created some beautiful cards to inspire everyone ~ Come on over to the challenge blog to check them out, and play along with us, if you like! You have until the 24th to submit your card! I hope to see you there ~
Supplies:
Stamps: Sugar Pea Designs - Lost Without You
Dies: MFT - Nativity Silhouette; Mama Elephant - Slim Card Basics
Misc: MFT - Nightshift Blue Cardstock; Gansai Tambi - Starry Colors; Ranger - Super Fine Detail Gold EP

This is SO pretty with the white Nativity scene against the dark starry sky Barb!
love the simplicity of the white die cut nativity scene against the dark sky xx
Beautiful winter night scene, Barb! The white crisp die-cut nativity scene beautifully pops against the navy blue sky. The gold shiny stars look awesome! You spattered gold paint perfectly!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Winter scene Barb that captures the true meaning of Christmas...LOVE it!! Loving your gold splattered sky for stars instead of snow too...have to remember that one! Hugs and hope you have a great weekend!! :0)
This is beautiful Barb! Love the white silhouette against that gorgeous, deep blue background. Adding gold to the sky for the stars makes this even more elegant. xx
Loving the contrast of the dark background with the white silhouette images Barb! ps not sure if you got my note but a big thank you for your Christmas card that arrived last week. It feels like the gift that keeps on giving, the slow postage system is stretching out the fun for us!
How wonderful! The Reason for the Season, Barb!

This is gorgeous Barb ! I think I prefer your version of silhouette (white against dark paper), and your choice of navy blue card stock instead of black is even better. Lovely idea too the gold splatters for the stars. Absolutely divine ! Thanks for having me guest design with you all for this challenge !
Beautiful nativity scene! Love the splattered stars in the sky and the great contrast between the white die cut and the navy sky.
Beautifully and thoughtfully done Barb. I love the white silhouettes.
So beautiful! As they say… this scene is the reason for the season. Love the navy blue/white colour combo. The gold splatters for stars is brilliant as not to confuse it for snow.
I love this starry sky and the beautiful Nativity scene, Barb! A perfect Christmas card, my friend!
Love the stark white against that navy sky and the gold stars. It looks stunning, Barb.
This is beautiful, Barb. I love the white silhouettes and will have to try that myself. The gold is the sky is perfect.
Beautiful card, Barb! And so very striking with the navy and white.
Love the white silhouettes against the navy Barb, gorgeous card, Cathy x
