Hello...just a quick post today, back to work yesterday and subbed all day today so not too much crafting time until I get back into my work routine. My card is a bit of a stretch for the first challenge for TAWS, they are celebrating their 3rd birthday and have a challenge looking for birthday themed cards...since I am still in post Christmas mood and have been dying to use this sweet little set from TAWS and since it is celebrating the birth of our Lord, why not! I stamped the background using VersaMark and than some clear embossing powder and on the star I used clear Wink of Stella, I know it is hard to see in my photo but it looks so pretty with all the sparkles. The second challenge I am entering my card in is for the current challenge over at Merry Monday's, ribbon or twine, this is a fabulous way to stay on top of getting your holiday cards made throughout the year. And the final one is for SSS, since this set is new that counts,right?
Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...have a wonderful week!

This is so very sweet. I love your background stamping. And, how smart you are--if you only have time for one card, you make it count for three challenges.
