Glory To The Newborn King

My last card today was created for the latest Freshly Made Sketches and  52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenges. This card came together pretty quickly. I've had a small bundle of Christmas stickers that were gifted to me by a fellow crafter since last year and I've never used them. So when I saw the latest Christmas Card Throwdown challenge I knew I had to break out that bundle of stickers and put at least one of them to use. It's time to get a jumpstart on my Christmas cards anyway. I started by layering some patterned papers from the We R Memory Keepers Silver & Gold 6x6 paper pad onto my white card base. I then die cut a circle using more of the same patterned papers and a pierced circle die from My Favorite Things. I adhered the circle directly to the card panel and added some black dashed lines around the outer panel. I stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions Sing Of The King stamp set onto the card using Versafine onyx black ink. To finish the card off I added the nativity sticker and the coordinating stars around it. Love how clean and simple this card turned out. I hope you like it too.

A perfect use of the sticker. The bright colours are balanced by the subtle background. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT
