Natvivity Scene.

It's time for another make over at the Christmas Card Club.
This time the theme has been set by Sue J. who is asking for
A Nativity Scene.
Now this nearly had me running for the hills
 until I remembered that I had a nativity scene by Woodware which had come
in a Craft Barn £15 goody box ages ago.
The original concept for this card was to make  a Joy Fold card
but it sort of got way laid and has a folder missing and a belly band instead!!
Don't ask me  I'm just the maker!!!
Card base is made from  SU Card Stock.
Red card came from Hobby Craft.
Stripey paper off cut from Dovercraft's Back to Basics Christmas pack.
Sentiment created in word and printed off to match the stamped wording.

Card with belly band removed.
This stamp set has several elements in it so I created a scene for each page.
Image is a modern design which I stamped in Memento 'Tuxedo Black'.
I decided to leave  as is to give visual impact.

Reverse of belly band with space for adding a personal greeting.

    Great card Mrs A - like this better than your original idea of a joy fold card - so many layers, each with great images.

    Best wishes.

    Very intriguing designs on this lovely card, with the great folds. Love the way you 'set the scene' on each page, and liked very much the way you did the outline stamps. Great design, great stamps and wonderful results...as always! Sorry to have been MIA for a while, but feeling better now, just trying to get energy levels back. Hope to be more active in the next weeks. TFS & Hugs
