Baby Jesus is Born

I got this set thinking I would do a lot of my cards with it this year before really thinking about it. I love the set but it needs a lot of watercoloring. That is very time consuming when you are mass producing cards. I came up with this alternative that I stamped on vellum with Stazon ink and put Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on. That really makes the image pop. It's very glittery in real life. I also used brads to adhere it to the paper instead of using vellum glue. You can't use any kind of regular glue when adhering vellum or it will show through. The words Christmas Blessings were stamped with White Craft Ink and I used white embossing powder to make it stand out.
