My project is inspired by Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I decided to make an Easel card today. For my card base it is a piece of burgundy cardstock with a green mat paper from the Imagine More Cartridge printed on my Cricut Imagine.  Then using George and Basic Shapes in the Cricut Craftroom and sized it to the size of an A2 size card for my mat.

Next I used Paper Doll Dress up for the stable cut at 3.25 inches.
Cricut Winter Frolic for Baby Jesus is cut at 3.25 inches. I then used my Cuttlebug folder to make the hay stand out more and give it dimension. Finally, I colored Baby Jesus Cheeks with pink chalk ink and outlined his eyes with a black gel pen.
My Unto Us a Child Is Born sentiment is from CardzTV Stamps Classic Christmas stamps
The bird is a sizzix die and the ribbon is from the Christmas ribbon stack at Target.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have been inspired and remember the important reason for the season! :)

Your next stop is Tina
